Started a new coloured pencil piece today.
I have to say even though this one is a still life and not a life model, my life drawing classes are really coming into play as to “seeing” things.  As i have said before you really need to know how to “see” even if you are working from photos  and drawing from life and sketching helps you practice this. Anyway, enough ranting, maybe my eyes are just not listening to my brain anymore

So here is the WIP, its a still life, 11X14″ or 27.9 X 35.5cms. I am really liking this sizing, its not too large but big enough to hold a presence once framed. Currently I am working on backgrounds etc and  it doesn’t seem “too big” to be overwhelming to get the colour down. So as you can see it’s ugly stages just for you as i know how much you guys love my WIPS.

I am purposely taking notes as i work with this one, all for my workshop in October, i like to be prepared so the notes will convert to lessons and articles over time that will help with the workshop and a few other little projects i have in mind.
Hope you enjoy !
