It's Sunday and yes, I am feeling lazy. Besides doing the things that must be done such as dishes, walking the dog, brushing my teeth etc., etc., I don't seem to have a ton of ambition today. That being said, I grabbed a magazine and browsed through it looking for something to sketch. There was not a lot to choose from but I felt I had to do something to warrant me lifting my butt off my chair from in front of my laptop and into the studio. These were sketched out in pencil first then painted in watercolor and gouache. I added shades and a man bun to the saxophone player and the figure to the left has a bit of a bend due to me not flattening out the paper before I photographed it. Not the most imaginative of efforts but at least I did something today. I just hope I can share something a bit more intriguing tomorrow. Well, I think I'm ready for a nap now.
Automatic drawing is a way to loosen up and free your mind while enjoying the act of making art while not having a set idea. A form of doodling. I do the same with paint as I'm sure many of us artists do. This piece shown here is a good example.
I started this piece last night and just finished it. Well, I think I have. I'm still pondering over it. He's a bit of a strange chap don't you think? Ink, watercolor and gouache on paper 12x16. www.markweberart.com
