Drawing summer school - day 1

Playing catchup in terms of blogging - no excuses, just wanting to focus on ideas about and from and for drawing. It's rather hot, too!

The theme of the week is Personal Ecologies and we started with looking at a plant, then drawing it without looking at the paper, then an observational drawing. I'm now very familiar with the structure of basil plants...

From the back - I'm challenging myself to use "scary" materials
like felt pens ... and ink ...

Clumsy, imo

Oh, it has a shadow ... no, several shadows ...

Still clumsy, but lively with it
 More Fun With Basil -
Felt pen!

Ink!

All of them

Detail from the observational drawing
 At the end of the day all the work went up on the wall and the plants went back on the shelf -
