"Letting Loose..."

...with Grace....Grace Haverty, that is!

This was the second exercise I did in my

sketchbook journaling all day workshop yesterday...

Grace wanted us to really get loose and comfortable

so we actually began first

with a few 60 second contour figure drawing exercises...

then moved into a still life drawing/painting.

We were to take no longer than about 20 minutes for the whole piece...

painting included...It was really fun!

I will confess here publicly though that I did add

a wee bit of pen work detail when I got home...but don't tell Grace...

She told me to stop! I just couldn't...

especially

after a late afternoon icy mocha cappuchino with whipped cream

...I got "loosey goosey" and out of control!

Stay tuned...More workshop goodies tomorrow...I promise!

"Celebrate your success and find humor in your failures.

Don’t take yourself so seriously.

Loosen up and everyone around you will loosen up.

Have fun and always show enthusiasm.

When all else fails,

put on a costume and sing a silly song."
