Well I’m keeping up with the daily drawing but it is impacting on my other drawing……..it seems that I can only manage so much drawing a week, but I am enjoying the discipline of having to go upstairs and sit down and draw, in fact I look forward to it. It has been helpful recently to have an activity that can stop my mind thinking about STUFF! Drawing brings its own concentration and intensity and there is no room for anything else and that is a blessing and relief. I am noticing too the turning of the year, although at the moment it is bitterly cold, spring is not far away and the plants are showing this to me. The snowdrops, aconites and hellebores are all back, my winter friends – I draw them every year (note to self….dig out the old drawings and see if I have made any progress, or maybe not….. I might be very disappointed………..).

I like how daily drawing tends to reflect the seasons and daily life!
That’s really true, I feel that although it is cold the first spring plants are well and truly on their way.
When I first started painting flowers I would paint the same flower for several years to see how I had progressed. It is a huge boost to the confidence and I am sure you will find it really helpful to see the difference in your work. Keep up the good work with the daily drawing!
I love it all – my top two are the Hellebore and the Seated Woman (not that you asked me to choose!). You’re actually really good with the figure drawing… (Err correct term for people drawings?) X
Thanks Simone, thank you for your kind remarks, you can choose as much as you like! Sue
Fantastic!
