This week I’m going through my sketchbooks to find examples for my art students for classes next week. I’m teaching them to paint in a non-intimidating way by painting backgrounds only, upon which we will start drawing next week.
You can see I obviously painted this background first, likely intending it to be a floral. I think I drew this pretty lady from a magazine while flying from somewhere to somewhere, but... I really have no idea. Anyway, here she is. I thought she was as pretty as a flower, so it fit.
I make a practice of preparing my sketchbookpages with backgrounds of color because I usually just travel with pens. With the background done, my work is also half done.
