Art Every Day 13

assertivedraw1

Today, I persevered at the working with flux nonobjectively. Above, is the first assertive drawing. I place the 3 ft X 4 ft paper on the wall and then attack it with charcoal and crayon. I enjoy this part. Next, is the obliteration with white paint. I was working with lines and pods, today. All images are clickable.

Then, I went back in with charcoal and crayon – making more marks.

I added more paint and more charcoal. This was the final piece with a detail, following.

The next workshop in the book is objective drawing.

Look what I received in the mail yesterday. I was the recipient of this lovely postcard made by Dale Ann Potter when she did a drawing after reaching her 500th follower for her Facebook fan page.

We had a typical November day — rain, sunbreaks, and more rain. Mr C, Scooter and I got caught in a pretty good down pour this morning. My new umbrella from Lisa came in very handy.

    Just checking in and catching up with you…which isn’t easy my friend.
    Were you serious about the marsh picture? If so, I have a few of them and could send you the jpegs. Be my guest.
    I’m always amazed at what comes of the daily art thing. It really is a great way to let loose and just enjoy.
    Let me know about the photos.

  2. So these look pretty cool, Gerrie. What is this Art Every Day? I’m thinking I missed – yet again – participation in another great sounding creative exercise. Going to check out the site now….

  3. You never cease to amaze me – you’ve such energy and drive and you create so much good stuff. Can you send some of that drive my way, please??
