Pot and Onion

My drawing/painting teacher told me today that when she had studied in the art college they did different sets of still-lifes for 3 years non stop. That could make a great painter of me or kill my hunger to draw and paint forever :-)).
I did this still life for 3 full sessions (total of 9 hours, lovely tea breaks included) and I was full. I asked the teacher to leave my drawing as it was and to start new project. My problem was (and is) I could not put all this small strokes (parallel with equal pressure) any more... So the pot and onion turned just fine. The folded cloth behind is jammed and looks like a loaf :-)))
Final: I like it very much and it is the result of really hard work.

LOL. :) I can relate to that! My Instructor had me draw & sketch for over a year before allowing me to pick up a paint brush! Now I'm grateful! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though I did paint at home lol.
Nice sketch! Look forward to seeing more of your work!
Best wishes!

Dana, thank you! My teacher is not that cruel. We meet once in a week, alternating drawing and painting. But nobody told me that one drawing can take 3 sessions :-))
ReplyDeletethis is a great pencil sketch, Irina.
