Dear Friends,
Today I started a three-session class at the Crocker Museum on making an art journal — it’s really a drawing class, working in a sketchbook. Here’s what I did today, copying a carved Buddha in the museum and fake flowers that Erin, the teacher, placed on the table. I started the flowers rather two-dimensionally, but the ones on the left are more lively, following Erin’s suggestions to use gestural* lines (I'm learning, I'm learning!)
Love,
k
* gestural, according to Merriam-Webster: of, relating to, or characterized by vigorous application of paint and expressive brushwork
- gestural expressionism (think W. de Kooning)
