pencil sketch of a neighbor's goat
Practice, practice. Decided to just enjoy myself at our Thursday Afternoon Ladie’s Drawing and Painting Club. I did this pencil sketch, using as a reference a greyscale photo I had taken of a neighbor’s goat, and employing a mechanical pencil, white card stock, kneaded eraser, magnifying glass, and an erasing shield left over from my drafting days.
We discussed drawing and painting things in your comfort zone – which, as your skill improves, can give you a degree of confidence as an artist that becomes evident in your work. And developing that (merited) confidence can help you as you step out of your comfort zone and try new mediums or new subjects.

Hi there, I just love your cloud paintings on the earlier post. The trees in the next one are wonderful. I’m happy to see trees that make your heart dance.
The goat is just great, too. Wish I was there for your class.
