I was drifting away but you pulled me back in. <br /><br />I have been fascinated with "cartoon plain air sketching" lately -- for me what that really means is, for the most part, taking note of the objects & characters in the scene, but only as verbal concepts and *not* striving to represent the visual shapes I see before me. I then draw a cartoon of the scene based on the mental model inside my head. I find that tremendously liberating. The struggle to catch fleeting poses is diminished. It's not a way to accurately represent what I see, but gives much more practice in mentally absorbing forms and working from sound construction.<br /><br />Would love to see more posts along these lines.Leifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377423701419088820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42525096730990396882015-05-05T09:16:31.140-04:002015-05-05T09:16:31.140-04:00Sure wish "The Artist's Guide to Sketchin...Sure wish "The Artist's Guide to Sketching" could be reissued!Ernest Friedman-Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595166504050829290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-1740890795752485892015-05-05T06:26:55.147-04:002015-05-05T06:26:55.147-04:00Oh, and James, did you know that schmincke has the...Oh, and James, did you know that schmincke has the casein colours?

Last week, I was thinking about sketches in a barbershop, hey, it is a great location where you can get a diverse crowd with interesting characters. Monet as a kid would go into barbershop to sketch portraits of people. I am actually a barber myself and I always hoped that someone would come in a create a sketch of me at work.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443867313415889168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-5083291756961121212015-05-04T17:05:56.545-04:002015-05-04T17:05:56.545-04:00Didn't know you had such a knack for cartoonin...Didn't know you had such a knack for cartooning.

Right now I've got seven different painting adventures that together will add up to a little over an hour. These are paintings that blog readers haven't seen yet for the most part. I haven't edited the portrait segment yet. And, yes! I plan to do a special week spotlighting each of the segments of the video.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-22877652400150819262015-05-04T14:10:59.344-04:002015-05-04T14:10:59.344-04:00This looks really great and with that style..

Casein or Gouache? Will there be a topic about portraits? And will there be the special weeks, such as watercolour week? Thank you and sorry.HNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679688307596294757noreply@blogger.com
