    Day 60, finishing the page with another 20 minute ink sketch.  Maybe starting off with the 20 minute time frame keeps me from getting tied up in details and over working.

    Day 56, 56 & 58. Sort of lost track of the days here but I know I have been working on this page for three days, probably a total of a couple hours time.
    There was a video going around last week that struck me.
    The video was small and the frames kind of blurry but I pulled out a few shots and decided to try and capture her energy even though it is impossible for me to fully appreciate what drives it.
    I am not happy with how it turned out, again I was trying too hard without relying on the gesture and forms to say what was needed.

    Day 55, didn’t get much time today for sketching but I managed to get 20 minutes out on the front entry deck of my home in the suburbs scribbling.

    Day 54, the reference photo  had for this was a little blurry and to some degree I think that helps me to not try te get the details quite so carefully.

    Day 52, probably about 30 to 40 minutes into this one. Just burnt umber on toned paper and some white charcoal. Trying to keep it quick and loose and find the shadow shapes.

    Days 50 & 51, i really tend to overdo things trying to get them “better” but the end result is muddy, mostly the face again here. I think I did Ok on the folds of the fabric and the hand.
    I do think this is helping me with my comfortability with colors even when I was working with some oils last night on a larger piece so that was nice.

    Day 49, a little more ink on this page. As a whole page, I think I am happy with it. I could keep going with some details but I think I will let it go.
    This is done with a Platinum Carbon ink pen that I bought a few months ago at “Wet Paint” in St. Paul, a new favorite place that I need to visit more often.

    Day 48, more ink work on this page. I did some light pencil work first just to get major forms placed.

    Day 47, trying to loosen up with a small ink sketch. I worked without the usual pencil first and just went right to the ink so some ill proportions that were committed to a little early.
    But this was an end of day sketch where I was just trying to get my 20 minutes in for the day. Sometimes the day gets away.

    Day 45 7 46, I tried to do a better face study but I am not really happy with this at all. It’s just not loose enough. I need to work more on looseness and fluid colors. But it is my time spent at the task so here it is.

    Days 43 & 44, the last couple days drawing time was spent on this Gouache sketch. Even as I look at it now I am tempted to keep working on it… we’ll see.

    Day 41 & 42 back to this sketch book from a few days ago, some pen and ink and a bit of white charcoal… Probably have an hour total into the sketch on the right.

    Day 39 & 40, trying to reduce to and see just the dark and light shapes. Using my Pentel brush pen.
    I enjoyed Steve Huston’s new video yesterday. Such a refreshing reminder that I am just so fortunate to be here just sketching for these moments…
