To SEE— to really look at a thing and to figure out how the light defines it— is tricky because we’re used to drawing what we know rather than what we see.
Teaching my kids to draw reignited my own love of sketching and looking deeply. I use a sharpie pen for most of my sketches, and direct observation of my subjects. It’s best to see a thing in life if possible, to understand the way the light defines it.
Here are my sketches, in all their scribbly and lively glory. I hope you’ll enjoy them for their simplicity and immediacy.
While sketches make up the bulk of my current art practice, you’ll also see some pastel drawing and paintings thrown in, too. I love color.
