I have a lot of things going on in my life, but I’m being careful to enjoy them and not feel rushed and overloaded. So I’m not making a commitment to spending time on drawing or playing with colors. On the other hand I’m trying to make it easy to do for a few minutes when the mood strikes.
So I took this view of Tempi from this picture taken in their backyard in October, 2021,
and expanded it,
and used it as a model for this picture.
As I’ve said, I really like that picture, but it doesn’t look like Tempi, so I’m still playing around.
I used a photo editor to get rid of the color and details and printed several copies of this out.
Then when the mood strikes I trace the outlines on the pictures and see if I can duplicate it freehand.
Danny Gregory says it doesn’t take talent to draw, it only takes the willingness to slow down and see. He may be right. It’s worth a try.
