It’s really easy to look at art and say I like that or I don’t like that. Try doing it.

Saturday Sketchbook
Once you’ve spent a considerable of time training to render dimensionality in a 2D picture plane, it’s hard to break away and flatten things out. I went into today’s session with the intention of color blocking and rendering flat shapes in vibrant colors. Looks like I’ve got some work to do. Tomorrow I will limit my colors—I think that will help.

Saturday Sketchbook
Digital edition
I took my iPad to the Life room today. And boy howdy it was confusing. I was sketching and painting and trying to Stay loose while d=working on a slippery surface smaller than what I’m used to. It was a struggle, but fun.

Sunday Sketch
A casual approach …
After a bit of a layoff, I didn’t want to try too hard today, probably because I didn’t want to fail too hard. When you go back into the gym after a break, you don’t immediately return to the same weight you left off at—you start back at a lighter weight and work your way back up.
Short on paper and needing a new pad, I scrounged through some old mostly-full sketchbooks looking for blank pages to fill, or, as in the first drawing here, pages with content that I could draw over. The second sketch, a reclining pose, began as a search for big shapes and abstract lines but it teetered off into basic sketching, probably because I paid too much attention to the feet. What I like most about Willem De Kooning: the moment when he said from now on, no more feet.

Graphite Sketches
Casual approach today, drawing with graphite, which I almost never do. These sketches were on Bristol—I admit that I did like the fact that the graphite erased very cleanly compared to charcoal or Conté on this same surface.
