Blind Contour 18: last week's post
the glories of being short at a concert
as you know, i went to see andrew bird a couple of weeks ago. it was fun, though more crowded than the last time i saw him. a lot less personal. so i used it as an opportunity to get some drawing in public practice in. it must have been partially successful; i had a guy walking me to my car until he found out i was married. (poor david, so nice...)
for a while, all i could manage to see was perhaps andrew bird's hands; too many tall folks. finally i was able to get some head views:
one attempt
a more successful attempt at the recognizable
it was difficult, what with him moving so much and so many people in front of me. much harder than denison witmer!
Blind Contour 19
water color crayons
this week, i thought i'd actually color the blind contour with watercolors instead of with photoshop. i think it worked out pretty well, though there were moments of definite distress. i don't have patience with watercolors drying!
the subject of the blind contour were my water color crayons. they're next to a box of green papers and in front of a yellow snail tape dispenser and a pair of scissors.
Very nice! Fun! Hey, that looks like a monkey to the right of the crayons.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful- especially the watercolor crayon one.
ReplyDeleteall i can say is, you pretty much rule! i love the portraits of andrew bird, and your water color crayons as well...they sure do bring back a lot of memories...wow!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see you this weekend...flea markets and cookies! yay!
