I’ve been working again today, so no light this evening for watercolours… and also no Chinese painting – is anyone else missing it yet? I certainly am, it’s very unfortunate that all this work has had to fall on Mondays. I’m going to have to set my own session up soon and do some practice I think, especially while I can’t make the lessons.
When I got home this evening I actually had an urge to draw, something that hasn’t really happened since I was small & would sit in my bedroom for hours drawing. What a lovely feeling it was though, the urge to feel the pencil rubbing and making marks on paper…
It took me a while to find a subject, but not too long as I went searching through the photos on the Paint My Photo website. This one was an easy choice, taken from a black & white photo by Harold Hopkinson of his great niece.
I thoroughly enjoyed my practice today 🙂
Lovely. Beautifully seen. How interesting that you’ve got this urge after so many years!
It is odd… even during the last six months of daily practice, while I’ve enjoyed each day, I haven’t that much of an urge to do something – it’s almost like the urge for chocolate or cake, or a thick cheese sandwich, if you know what I mean 😀 And it wasn’t an urge to do anything in particular, just to feel the pencil on paper. I could’ve just scribbled all over and still been happy, albeit embarrassed at posting!
