More Drawlings


I think if I want to draw, it helps to draw draw draw and then draw some more. Above is Jon's actual guitar that is resting in his recording studio in our basement. It is a Rickenbacker.



Just experimenting with texture, color and line above...



This is a tree in our back yard when I look out from my studio window.



Here are some sketches for a family portrait: The Katheiser Family Band - Cleo, Mava, Jim, Jon, Harlow and Ophelia and our friends The Mouse and The Bird (backup singers).

Phew!

OK - I had to not take myself so seriously and just have a little fun. Teee hee!

Drawing Class Studies



Here are a few drawings from class tonight. I was feeling a bit restless and frustrated...but I have a theory that frustration comes in waves and it is a part of learning, right?

Guitar Part I

just sketching some design ideas for a painting for my husband who loves to play and record music in our basement...he's really good too.
Looking at this again - I think what it needs is more contrast between the brown and orange - there is not enough emphasis on the focal point - the guitar. Also, it needs something else - more movement, more texture...

The Theory of the T-Bone

This is a painting for my brother who has a theory that eating T-Bones will make you big and strong.
