Helen Opie's Drawings & where they've led me: February 2011
http://helenopie.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Helen Opies Drawings and where theyve led me. An effort to draw almost daily, perhaps averaging a drawing a day, sharing what I find out via my drawing, and moving into painting insights resulting from drawing more. Sunday, February 27, 2011. Yesterday while reorganizing I found a little metal box of graphite chunks and woodless pencils. So. I used a 9B graphite crayon and my 6B pencil. I had fun with all that finger-blackening rich deep black crayon. Thinking about Savary Park. Links to this post. Where...

My Garden from Back Deck. Links to this post. Fish Shacks and Poles, Parkers Cove. So another careful drawing of my beloved fish shacks. I'd intended to do a loose painting of this, emphasizing the sheds and poles and probably heaving out that hill and road rising b...

An effort to draw almost daily, perhaps averaging a drawing a day, sharing what I find out via my drawing, and moving into painting insights resulting from drawing more. Monday, January 28, 2013. I am back to my blog! I am eager to get my January reorganizing (two Januarys worth! Done enough that I can make painting my priority, not a treat fitted into the rest of my day. More later. Welcome back. Thanks for sharing your creative process with the world.

J&B's House with Snow. I like the way my neighbours' house mimics the shape of the much larger house beside it, and I enjoy the changing shadows and skies behind all year round. Links to this post.

L. Williams Studio: March 2014
http://lwilliamsstudio.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. I promised to post pics of the demonstrations that I did at my workshop on Landscape textures. The goal of the workshop was to imply texture without painting every blade of grass. I am a big fan of random marks made with brushwork or with spatter and quite literally throwing the paint at the paper. With practice, you can usually get the paint in the general area that you wanted. The class called this the "splash, splat and thump technique.". Sunday, March 30, 2014. Thanks to the m...

L. Williams Studio: November 2013
http://lwilliamsstudio.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 27, 2013. After the last class. I have been inspired by examining the work of other artists (including my students! And here are some recent examples from my sketch book. These first 2 are little compositional sketches. They are 4 x 4 inches. These are a little larger than my normal thumbnails so they give me more room to experiment within the format. Thanks Andi for inadvertently leaving your book behind - I love new art books. Evans farm 1 ( 5 x 10 inches). Pine (7 x 10 inches).
