Growth in Drawing

Yesterday’s post about some trouble drawing made me think about the way my skills have changed for the better through the years. One of the best ways to see this is in my drawings of Farewell Gap with the Crowley cabin in Mineral King. Long time readers of this blog will recognize this sequence.

Nothing really needs to be said because if “a picture is worth a thousand words”, then this blog post is 4000 words.

  1. I think ALL the pictures are beautiful. The last one just adds more gray/shading detail, but even the first one is very pretty. Don’t sell yourself short, Mid-California Artist!

    • Sharon, you are very kind. I show these sorts of progressions to my students regularly to encourage them by letting them know I wasn’t always this good and to keep myself humble, which is obviously a necessity.

  2. Yep, that’s dramatic! (Hope your cabins are going to make it through this summer.)

    • Thank you, Donna. Resting on pins and needles while breathing heavy smoke is an uncomfortable situation.
