Using a device makes no one self conscious. People think you're gaming. 😊Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-89702700238409944262014-12-29T18:53:28.526-05:002014-12-29T18:53:28.526-05:00It is a good plan, and a thirty minute sketch is a...It is a good plan, and a thirty minute sketch is a good habit, to be continued after you venture to the studio and paint, I trust? <br />SharonWrightArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510138090568900945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-52360466950914412982014-12-29T18:27:49.031-05:002014-12-29T18:27:49.031-05:00She was adorable.

Ellis's too. <br /><br />Using the Sun Torch to brighten winter's long, dark days presented the opportunity to also use the time for drawing. Thirty minutes in front of that light was suggested by my doctor. It was my idea to add drawing to the routine. The daily drawing session has nothing to do with painting daily except to help me find subjects that I might want to paint. This baby in her first sun hat has painting potential. <br /><br />The book is well written and full of good advice for painters who wish to make painting the source of their livelihood. I enjoyed seeing your work represented and Roger Akesson's. The illustrations are beautifully done. <br /><br />Happy New Year to you and yours too.

Carol Marine paints for a different reason than I do. Her format is designed for marketing a quantity of paintings--much like you marketed your phenomenal work via the print market. Marketing is something I think about, but will probably never do. I never wanted painting to become a job. That's the reason I became a designer of architectural interiors when my husband's business went belly up. I noted that she and I had similar life experiences. Now, I'm too old to start another business. As for painting daily, of course. Anything you want to do well requires practicing daily, albeit consistent, hard work. <br /><br />Ellis and I had a grand time! We hope to do that as long as possible. I know you and Pat feel the same. Happy New year to you both John.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-24003178824479933272014-12-29T16:12:31.780-05:002014-12-29T16:12:31.780-05:00I really like this little sketch!

As you said - it doesn't have to take all day long. <br /><br /><br />Thirty minutes obviously works for you. This cutie of a sketch would take me quite a bit longer.<br />The book is fascinating isn't it? So diverse. Carol is a born teacher/sharer and can tune in to what most of us need.<br />Your figure looks pretty fabulous in the photo (previous post) and you and Ellis obviously had a great time.<br />Hope you both have an amazing 2015.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-29279706699149764702014-12-29T12:46:01.865-05:002014-12-29T12:46:01.865-05:00Small is good ...But ...I suspect it won't las...Small is good ...But ...I suspect it won't last, small won't contain all that you want to 'say'.<br /><br />Love listening in on your thought process in how to tackle this 'water-baby'.<br /><br />I loved the last post.
