Studio, ahem, saturday
Here's my studio Saturday post, it's, uh, still Saturday somewhere, right? This week we learned one-point perspective and had to do a big ol drawing using said perspective. This is drawn from a rough sketch and photo taken at the smithsonian train station on the way home from the peace march last week. I can set you up with the towering anit-sam-tall-drink-of-water, he's local English prof and light guy (for rock bands) and according to rate my professors, his very voice can make the girls orgasm. 
Notice all the sketchy lines (especially if ya click on either of the pics and check em supa sized, though pay no attention to the hand deformity) and failed first attempts at angles etc, my teacher has us do the whole thing in ink so that she can see it all. I really like it. Much like Jodi speaks about, and I'm probably butchering her sentiment, the draw of art, is often in the history, the journey that a piece took. I don't yet feel that about mine, but I can see it developing. Oh, by and by, this piece is about 50 inches x 30 inches, yeah, call it taped-to-the-wall-to-draw.
I've got more posts in me, much knitting and some exciting pics of homespun, knit by me and, gasp, by another! Maybe tonight or tomorrow. Yes, I'm all about the drought and then the flood.
