Conceptualize
Hi Steven,
Glad I could blow some cold Wisconsin air your way. I'm actually a cold weather person also, I just can't seem to get comfortable outside with this brace on. And if I'm not comfortable I can't draw. Since this is a learning experience all around I thought I would share some of the disasters along with plans and dreams.
Disaster #1: Sally talks, my brain shuts down if I have to do two things at once. It refuses to draw, paint, or connect in any way with my hand if I have to listen or speak back.
Disaster #2: The brace, enough said or I will start whining.
Disaster #3: Due to numbers 1 and 2, my sketches are horrible. I won't post something here that I know I can do better on. There will be time in the future for sketching something that I feel I can post with some pride.
Since this topic area is for concepts, I felt that I should post pictures or any preliminary work under their appropriate section. So you'll find photos under resources, when I'm ready to post the underpainting it will be under oil critique. I figure that the concept is in my brain so I'm trying to be verbal (quite a challenge for me)!
Fall in Wisconsin:
The aroma of an apple orchard and crunch of a good tart apple, leaves a foot thick crunching and rustling while you walk, crisp clean air, frost in the morn, rich reds, gold, and yellows under a brilliant blue sky, geese flying south in formation, squirrels stealing food and hiding it in trees, cinnamon, pumpkin, gourds and squash. I love fall in Wisconsin.
Close your eyes, Steven, and pretend you're here for a minute.
Jean
