Ever do 5 minute quickie sketches? I totally recommend it, especially if you don't particularly like drawing. Believe it or not, these short sketches WILL make you a better artist, they don't take long, and they are instant gratification. I had fun doing these seashells. I've got some seashells in an upcoming still life, and small sketches like these help me before I put them in a painting.
Il est toujours bon de dessiner encore et encore... cela délie le poignet. Un exercice similaire à celui du pianiste qui répète ses gammes tous les jours.

Gros bisous
Love these. Nice how they're travelling out of their frames, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aubrey! Martine, you're right, drawing is much like a musician that needs to practice and practice. I really need to do it more.
ReplyDeleteThat's something I've been meaning to do for ages, get a sketch book and practice my drawing, just got to get around to it now:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love these little sea shell sketches!!
ReplyDeleteKimmy, these are fabulous and you are so right.
ReplyDeletePractice, practice, practice!
Kim, these are great! Makes me want to pick up a pencil and sketch, one of my weakest points! I love the shadows on these.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Florida!
