1. Sunday Sketching -

Since this is supposedly an art blog, I thought I ought to, I don't know, post some art? Not that I've made much of any in the last three weeks or so...

(And Shannon, I know this doesn't look like you at all. You are hard for me for some reason)

I did manage to sit through church this week, although felt very rusty with the drawing (how does that happen so quickly??) I've *got* to start sketching SOON - there are cover roughs to submit, and workshop sketches to work on. Every day I think that *this* is the day I'll be able to draw... Alas....

I *did*draw some in church though, which feels like a positive stop. Spent the last part of the day drawing mummies for wiggly little 8-year old boys (it did have something to do with the lesson, I promise). It kept us both engaged enough to stick it out. :-)

Maybe I'll be able to do some actual sketching... tomorrow....?

Not particularly interesting sketching views - lovely Easter service however.

I think I may never draw adults at church again. Not when there are such cute little bodies playing in the pew next to us, or looking back at us from a few rows up ahead...

I want to get better at remembering the micro-poses they assume (since they don't stay still for more than 2 seconds at a time). James Gurney (who still has the best art blog on the planet - even when he's out of the country, like now) had a thoroughly thought-provoking post on what he calls 'The Flash-Glance Method' - where you look at your subject and then quickly close your eyes. The last pose they were in should 'hover' on the insides of your eyelids for a couple of seconds. Hopefully long enough to get some more short-term memory sketching captured. JG's sketches using this technique are fabulous. My memory muscles need more working-out!
