Recap of February

What did I do in February? Despite my lack of posting to my blog, I have actually been making art. During the month of February I participated in (and tried to keep up with) the Daily Practice Challenge by Opus Art Supplies. I managed to do over half of them, but I realized off the bat that I was going to miss some and I gave myself permission to do so, no catch up necessary. I posted the finished drawings to instagram (@sarah_peschell) and here are a couple collages of them. It was just practicing and playing.

Creative Prompt Week 14

I have had the drawing finished and waiting to be photographed and posted since early last week. So this post is a little late, but here it is now. The prompt was My Favourite Weather.
My favorite weather is the crisp, clear and cool days of autumn. I used soft pastels on printmaking paper for this little drawing.

Creative Prompt Week 13

Well I guess I'm not exactly sticking to one drawing a week. I have been grabbing a few minutes here and there when I have the chance and they have come a bit more frequently lately. Or maybe it's just the urge to draw coming more frequently. I do feel a bit guilty sitting down to draw rather than sweep all the dust bunnies up or doing some other house tidying. Obviously not too guilty though or I wouldn't be drawing!
The prompt for week 13 was: Scissors. I know I tend to very literally and realistically render the prompts. For now anyway I am practicing at keeping my drawing skills up. I used charcoal and graphite on kraft paper today.
