A few months ago I wrote a post about some artwork I did inspired by a book: Drawing Lab for Mixed-Media Artists: 52 Creative Exercises to Make Drawing Fun, by Carla Sonheim. (Look here for that post.) I’ve done some recent work inspired by the same subject – the cracks in the sidewalks under my feet. Now I’m doing a small series of posts to show you the results. Search this blog under the term “sidewalk art” to find earlier posts in the series.
My method is to take one photo and rotate it through a circle – that way I can do four drawings from one photo. Here is the source photo for the drawings done on 1/6/20:
and here are the drawings.
I like the little bird chirping its message and that landscape with its strong diagonal line.
Thank you. I don’t usually do landscape with these sidewalks photos and I don’t know why, because I like how this one turned out.
Love sidewalk art inspirations!
I’m still plowing along on this theme. I have some more to post. It is perfect work for TV watching in the evenings and very restful, with the small size of each picture and a nice pen to work with.
