Influence: David Dunlap

The practice of daily drawing was one I first learned of in grad school when artist David Dunlap visited our seminar and impressed upon me the benefit of this ritual.
Although I have not always been true to this goal in the (many) intervening years, I have made  drawing a part of my daily routine as important as brushing my teeth since participating in the Sketchbook Project in 2010.
Here are a few of my drawings from the past week:
water color, metallic watercolor and water soluable pencil

inktense pencils and water soluable pencil

pigma pen, inktense pencils and watercolor pencils
These are all  drawn in an 8"x6" Stillman & Birn 'gamma' sketchbook. 
Happy mid-week to you, dear Reader.

  7. I'm still struggling with the idea of a daily routine--so many goals and so little time, it seems. I do have the daily habit of THINKING about drawing!

    This week, a concerted effort will be made to meet that goal. All the stacks of sketchbooks in your studio, and these lovely images are inspiration. Cheers, Cindi
