Exercise

By in cats, sketches, watercolour

This looks a little different form my usual thing, because I was doing an exercise from a watercolour book. That means copying another artist’s strokes as closely as possible. I learn stuff from this, but hate doing it. Took some snaps below, so you can see the book, and the reference.

I’m also bored by drawing from photographs. I know that’s stupid, and you could argue that better drawings arise this way. And, I did learn about matching colours in a better way. So why continue fumbling in the dark? I guess it’s just part of my practice.
