Some of my most happiest days have been spent in the studio, drawing from the model. This weekend the members of Studio 1482 got together to draw Marilyn, and squeeze in a little studio business talk too. Heavenly day – great friends, great model, great times! More drawings to come on my blog, if you’re […]

Besides my interest in their positions on the issues, I LOVED drawing their body language! Tells a lot. I was definitely “feeling the Bern”, as Bernie Sanders was all hand movements and […]

View post →Been such a busy last six months, I still haven’t scanned most of my drawings from my trip to Cuba last June. This one is a study of a small town we visited, on our way through the Vinales Valley. What a place – such color! It really is true, the colors of the country are […]
View post →One of the things I love about drawing on location is that you never know what kind of influences will occur. I had a great time playing with the Victorian symbols, and stylizing a little bit, one day on Main Street in DisneyWorld USA. Love the colors there! posted by Veronica

View post →One of the things that impresses me so much about Bali is the culture of gratitude that prevails. Every day, offerings are made to the gods – rice, flowers, little pieces of palm – in gratitude for everything in life. From the small to the large, it’s so easy to forget about being grateful for […]

It has ideas and advice for creating reportage drawings and telling stories with your […]
View post →Sometimes the most interesting thing to draw in a drawing class are the people who are drawing. (Say that five times fast.) This guy was INTENT on looking at the model. Hope that attitude can rub off on all of my students. 🙂 posted by Veronica
