Yet we keep returning to the first _and only_ one we have been to. This week, the pastor's wife, B.J., told us that once we have come twice we are no longer visitors; we are family.
So it looks as though Jubilee Christian Center is our new church home. Yesterday, I drew this eagle sculpture that was sitting on the floor while waiting for the service to begin.
Beautiful sketch, Vicky! Love your new penworks! A bit surprising for me, as I know, how you love color!
ReplyDeleteI DO love color!! and miss playing with watercolor. But this current sketchbook, a gift from a son, has fragile hand-made paper in it --- gel ink pens seem to work best on it. I could use the practise anyway; I'm not very confident using cross-hatching and stippling for tone.
ReplyDeleteWhy? You can deal with it very well! I think it is a good practise if you have to do all the tones just with a pen! It´s pretty hard! I tried to do Brenda Swenson's 75 Day Sketch Challenge two years ago and it helped me a lot! Though I have to practise more!
ReplyDeleteThen maybe it's more a lack of confidence in what I already vaguely know how to do? I remembet a classmate in high school doing incredibly detailed ink drawings with lots of tonal values.
ReplyDeleteWhen I did Brenda's sketch challenge I mostly did continuous-line. Maybe I'll revisit the challenge, this time using tone.
