Friday 19 February 2010




(Cardiac problems have kept me from doing nearly as much work as planned for the past three days.)



Reading:



Bert Dodson Keys to Drawing With Imagination

North light Books, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 2007

Pp 6-29



Personal Sketchbook work: In my pocket sketchbook, a partial sketch of a fat man dozing in a doctor’s waiting room.



Retrospective review: Six months ago today I started work on Start Drawing. A review of my coursework and the work in my personal sketchbooks shows substantial improvement in quality over the period. I have learned at least something about the use of media that I had not previously considered using, e.g., markers, and have worked in areas in which I had little previous experience, e.g., portraits. I look forward to starting the Landscape section soon. I wish that I had known about OCA when I retired, so that I could have started working on the courses then, with some reasonable expectation of finishing the entire program.



Total time: 38 minutes
