Old Shed I - A Work in Progress

Today I was in the mood to draw and I pulled out this sketch that I did a number of years ago (see posts on 13 July 2013 and 03 March 2017) when I was on a paint out with the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Group.

I started with putting the boards on the right side of the shed door and then added more leaves to the climbing vine on the building.

From there I finished the large upright board leaning against the side of the shed.















I wasn't happy with the way the shed looked and I decided to extend the roof and length of the building.

Next I added another barrel on the left side of the boards leaning against the wall.

Perhaps I will add another window and put a door in the open space on the building and I will post this drawing at a later time once I have finished more of the building.

On the Lawn - Revisited

I pulled this drawing out as I felt there was no strong contrast in each of the elements, so I started by darkening some of the areas of the flag first.

Next I darkened the rock in behind barrel, on the barrel I darkened down some  of the barrel staves and hoops.














Lastly, I darkened the shadows on the wooden deer.

This original 6" x 9” pen and ink drawing when framed will be available for $150.00.

On the Lawn I

This morning I saw my little kestrels going in and out of the nesting box that I have for them. It is just under the eaves of the house and beside my bedroom window.

Today I thought I would work on this drawing that I did on location when I was in Magnetawan last year at the Knoepfli Inn.

On the Lawn - A Work in Progress

We leave the Knoepfli Inn later today after breakfast and taking down the art show.

While waiting for breakfast I sat on the front porch and did this sketch of a wooden barrel with petunias in it and the Canadian flag blowing in the wind, along with a log reindeer ornament.














I haven't decided what I will put in behind the lawn ornaments, if anything.

I will post this drawing at a later date once it has been completed.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.

Garden Shed I - A Work in Progress

I worked on this sketch that I had started a while ago (see post on 25 August 2013).

I started with the wooden barrel, by first placing the head hoop, quarter hoop, bilge hoop and the second quarter hoop.

Next I put in the barrel staves, gradually curving them to create the illusion of roundness.

I started working on the two boards leaning against the building.

I will post this drawing at a later date once I have fixed the wheelbarrow and completed the building.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.
