22" x 30" charcoal on Rives BFKok...so he's not so small.
This is the drawing I was referring to in a previous post. I've been sketching for days now trying to get Diamond's expression and the lighting just right. It was a bit tricky as he was blasted with sunlight from above but also bathed by the light reflecting up from the concrete pad.
You can set your clocks by this sweet ol' soul...stopping by the studio doorway for his afternoon snack. He takes a look inside, turns his head with ears tracking where you might be, then winnies.
Who has who trained here?

How lovely,
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am standing next to him listening to his breathing. A gorgeous drawing. You can set your clock by my cats too. My older cat Timbah rubs against my leg at 5:59 p.m. if I'm home. Dinner is supposed to be at 6 p.m. They know exactly when that is and shift seamlessly with the time changes in the fall and spring.
Super drawing.
Take care,
Barbara
Marilyn, I'm the one that's blown away. Your gorgeous drawings are so sensitive, both in rendering and feeling. They are truly masterful. I am so happy to have discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful drawings! I especially love the light in this one. I also enjoy your wood pieces tremendously.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for following my work - I'm glad you are because that way I've found your very lovely work - such beautiful soft drawings.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara. Funny though. My boys do not observe the time changes and will stand, side by side, at the paddock fence glaring up to the house as a reminder.

At times I enjoy sketchbooks more than finished works. Thanks for sharing yours Bridget.
