Dylan and Jasmine

I want to visit this street, somewhere in Spain!

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is a street in Spain - I got very interested in drawing this!
Today's tip: Work out what is important, you don't have to use every colour, you don't have to draw every window, what HELPS it look better or say more?

My daughter picked me up a feather

Today's is a feather, my daughter picked it up today and immediately said "drawing a day today." I'm not going to argue.

It reminds me of the Just So Stories, if you have not read them, don't worry, you are not dead yet so there is still time to correct this omission. If they weren't part of your childhood, then at least you can find a kid to read them to.

Today's tip: Use every minute. I did this on the back of a paper menu while I waited for my mum who was a few minutes late.

Irises and an art tip

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is irises.
Today's tip: Try to restrict your colour. Paint boxes come with all these tempting little trays of colour, but it's seldom a good idea to use the green for leaves, brown for trunk, blue for sky, yellow for sun... you end up with too many and it's not harmonious.

I find you can use any colour for anything as long at you restrict the number in each artwork.

Today's tip is: Try to help others, think of them as your future CONTACTS not your future competition. Also helping is rewarding and inspiring in itself.

Blossom and Ratatouille!

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it and sharing an art tip too.

Today's drawing is some cherry blossom. #drawingadayclub

For today's tip I offer this quote from the film Ratatouille:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

Woodland (yesterday's drawing)

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.

Today's (yesterday's) drawing is woodland fenced off.

Today's art tip: Don't bother too much with self criticism, I find life supplies plenty of people willing to critacise you, and you can safely leave it to them!
