Of our little group of three, two of us have greenhouses. Earlier in the summer we drew a wheelbarrow in one of the greenhouses, and recently we tackled a garden glove as our subject while sitting in my greenhouse. Here are some of the results:
Here, the garden glove was sketched right onto the same page as the wheelbarrow, creating a nice study.
The angles in this drawing are accurate, causing the wheelbarrow to look stable even though no floor is depicted.
Lest we forget one of the pleasures we indulge in each time, I'm interrupting the series of drawn images to show you what awaited us in the greenhouse the day we drew the wheelbarrow.
Many things about my wheelbarrow are wrong. And it was "wrong" to use a pen for this exercise. A pencil would have been a lot neater..
…and my glove had a few problems, too! Although now, a week after drawing it, it doesn't look so bad to me. I like it when that happens.
One of us particularly loves detail, and this page reveals that. The stitching and the precise pattern of the print on the cuff of the glove are carefully recorded.
May some of your summer drawing interludes also be shared with friends. I highly recommend it!
