Blind-sided Still Life

While Emmy was in residence earlier this week, in addition to populating a watercolor-and-ink barnyard, we gathered vases from a kitchen shelf, snipped flowers and greenery from Dave's gardens, cleared a space on top of a file cabinet, and set up a still life. Emmy then perched on a stool and followed the example of a member of Amanda Evanston's Insider Studio.

The exploration exercise: create a blind contour drawing of an arrangement of vases and garden clippings; add pops of color.





Emmy went home with a spectacular portfolio, I tell ya!

What a great exercise! Plan to try it with my grandson! Is Emmy your granddaughter? Yes, a mentor indeed!

It IS a great exercise, one I plan to undertake and then repeat several times. Yes, 12 y.o. granddaughter.
