I’ll start showing a few of my “drawing a day” from this summers’ workshops in France. La Cascade has been beautifully restored and decorated by Gwen. Each room has its own feel and is furnished with lovely things collected from the French flea markets, called Vide Greniers, which translates as “Empty the Attic”. We all have great fun attending these markets during my workshops.
Here is a drawing from one of the bedrooms. A beautiful ivy sits on a lovely old wooden stand by the window. I only used pen and ink, no pencil first. When I use pencil I spend most of my time erasing to try to get it “right”. With a pen I just forge ahead and accept it as it is. This seems to work better for me. I may at some point do some light watercolor on them.
I plan to use these in different ways- as transfers on polymer clay, or fabric or ??????
More pics in a couple days. Please let me know if you’d like info on the 2010 workshops!
