copy cat

My cat enjoys the last few sunny days this year - and her shadow follows her like a massive two-dimensional black&white copy. A great image for a pencil sketch!

Love love love

Today is my wedding anniversary. And it isn't. We split up this year. Sometimes love gets punctured. It stays perceptible though. Even withered and injured something is left that looks beautiful in some way.

The second portrait I drew quite fast and sketchy. If I do this, it often leads to a fresher, more spontaneous and lively line.

I recently tried portrait drawing again and was very pleased that my lack of practice in the last six months didn't mean that I had completely lost my touch. Or my enthusiasm!
I'm off to a different life drawing course tonight to try it out, with a new friend from my watercolour class.
