Drawing from Life

Drawing from life and more

This is a short post about my latest drawings and sketches. I keep drawing from life with watercolor crayons and also with an ordinary gelly pen. The above picture is a color sketch from last week riverbank walk – with leaves of the Linden trees on the left and the Dancing House on the right.

After I drew the view with the color crayons, I enjoyed some time in a cafe and applied some wet brushwork and more color.

And since it is spring now, the abundance of fresh blooms and blossoms everywhere invites me to draw and paint some nature as well. 🙂

Line drawing from photos

And because it is not always possible to draw from life, I often draw from my photos as well. The line drawings below are from Tonya Graves concert we recently visited with Bill at Jazz Dock, the Prague Jazz & Blues venue.
