To those of you have viewed my food diary sketches I must confess - I am not the cook. Most of those delicious sounding (and tasting) meals were cooked by my husband. Not only does he like to cook, he's great at it! Six or seven years ago he started to experiment in the kitchen. At first he was underfoot. Things changed quickly and soon I was the one in the way! I happily left the kitchen, rarely to return.
On Saturdays in the summer we go to the Green City Market, a fabulous farmers' market here in Chicago. My husband shops and I sketch. A good time is had by all!
I love your style! I often look at your work as I am trying to teach myself watercolor.
ReplyDeleteYour comments are always so kind. Thank you. Your blog shows you are doing great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect relationship! I love the way you use negative space - here for the umbrellas, but I've noticed it in your other sketches. Raena's right - there is a lot to learn from looking at your sketches.
ReplyDeleteThey are all correct! In addition to the border, the empty page, etc., I find it interesting how you left the figures uncolored and colored the background. It works very well. Love your lettering too.
ReplyDeleteLove these sketches!! You have alswyas such nice info an detail en interest in your scenes without weihging them down. I agree with Raena...I love your style too!

I just love how you handle people in your sketches. I'm so intimidated when I try to draw people from life, I tend to just avoid it. I think the loose style you've used here has the perfect "from life" feel. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteand btw, I also really like your title script!
These are wonderful--I always love your page spreads. And your husband/your "system" sounds good with me! I love the first sketch, with the figures leading into the image.
