“Woman Resting” by Clive James

Clive James is not my favourite poet but I do like his source of inspiration, which is a beautiful painting by Antonio Mancini.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Lunch Sketch Sketch Watercolour

Lunch Sketch #7

I thought it would be a good painting exercise to capture Arnold Schwarzenegger’s muscles with water colour. This will probably take a whole week of lunchtime sketching, this is day Nr. 1.

Daily Paintworks

Buy some cheap art! I stumbled across this site, Daily Paintworks today, it’s a family business in Texas selling artwork online. It is mass production at a price most ordinary folks can afford. A good idea!

Lunch Sketch #6

I am getting more ambitious with my lunchtime sketching, this time I used real watercolour paper, taped onto board. The painting took three lunch breaks to complete also and not the usual one. I am trying to be more patient when I paint, I think three hours is a long time while professional portrait artists can spend one hundred hours easily on just one painting, I have room to improve my level of patience.

Enrico Casarosa Sketch Stockholm

SketchCrawl.com

I just joined SketchCrawl.com, a forum for people who want to be both sketcher and socialite. For one day, every few months there is a world-wide sketching day, local groups from all around the globe go out and draw and then post the results on the forum. I think this is a wonderful idea and I plan, for the first time, to join the next Stockholm SketchCrawl. Enrico Casarosa founded the forum, SketchCrawl back in 2006 (not 100% sure of that date) and has been growing in popularity ever since.
