I wanted to share a new sketch I did yesterday. No words have come to mind yet but hopefully they will when I paint her. I am planning to use her in a mixed media piece as I did for Tam's class using the new techniques I learned. In case you missed it you can read that post HERE. Sketching always quiets my mind. It is fun to see how the face will turn out. It seems a secret to me while I am creating. I always look forward to the big reveal!
Tomorrow I am off to Philly to speak at a women's cancer symposium. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Oh, what a gorgeous dreamy girl... Can't wait to see how you do that finished piece!! Happy Friday! Love, Silke
ReplyDeleteBeautiful..she is a charmer! It will be wonderful to see what you create! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe is very pretty and I agree that she has a dreamy look. I really like these girls with big eyes. I have tried and mine just don't come out looking right. I will not give up though.
ReplyDeleteCathy she's lovely. I agree very dreamy, almost like she's wishing on a star, or perhaps she's dreaming wistfully about her true love!
ReplyDeleteLoved your last canvas. I had a go but I found the canvas harder to work than the watercolour paper, but maybe I need crayons as opposed to pencils.
Have a safe trip. See you back here soon

Oh Cathy, she's so pretty!!! Can't wait to see her finished. I too am taking Tam's Art, Heart and Healing workshop...lovin' it!
ReplyDeleteAh..Cathy, your sketch is lovely! I'm anxious to come back to see her after you've added color. Isn't it amazing how a character will just come alive once you've brushed colored on? Good luck at your speaking engagement. Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteShe looks thoughtful, as though she's saying: "Hmmmmmm....Let me think about that for a while and I'll let you know." Maybe she's trying to think up some words too! ^_^ How wonderful to have the privilege to speak at the cancer symposium. Here's wishing you "No Nerves!" And have a good weekend too!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, great job on your sketch, she looks like she's pondering on something very important. Maybe she's thinking about your speech at the symposiuum. :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the final image. Thanks for your lovely comment on my sketch.
I'm really enjoying Tams course too!
happy friday lovely lady! she is gorgeous and i can't wait to see what you do with her!
ReplyDeletehave fun doing your speech...something i could NEVER do! you go girl! xoxo
So nice to see your work. This lady seems to be think of something... Looking forward to seeing her complete with all the new techniques and the word you choose.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteWow I've had some catching up to do (haven't been visiting my blog friends this week as we have had computer problems), Great sketch you really do have your own unique style and it's so great to see it develop :0).
I just had a look through your past posts that I missed and your photos of the zoo and the butterflies are beautiful, looks like a lovely place. I loved your post about your grandmother, so touching and your drawing was a great tribute to her, you certainly captured that twinkle in her eye that I could see in the photograph,
Lovely work :0) xox
Cathy, she's beautiful, and I know what you mean about sketching--I get lost in it.
