Drawing for Day 15 - Curvature

A little delay with #drawtober - I’ve been drawing everyday, but haven’t had the time (because of the fall harvest 🪴 ) to dedicate time to the write ups I make for each piece (poem) which I share over on the Patreon or via the Insta subs.

We’ll get there 🫶

Gearing up for this years #artober

I just shared the concept that I will be exploring this year for the month long drawing extravaganza, complete with 31 word prompts.

Any guesses?

I’ll be sharing Day 1 tomorrow via the Patreon, if you’re an eager beaver 🦫

It only dawned on me today, that in less than three weeks will begin the month long drawing journey that I commit to every year #artober

today I will be brainstorming concepts of what I would like to explore come October 1st

For now, here are a few #drawings from last year’s artober

Mornings are for play and contemplation 🌀 ✍️

The first two paintings were done in my @leuchtturm1917canada sketchbook - responds well to light wet media if that’s what you’re into.

MELISSA20 to save (if that’s also your thing) 🤙

Last shot, current views.
