A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Monday, 16 April 2012. The Hug, new drawing off the board! Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you. A wee bit of "soul balm". One of life's most preciou. A gentle greeting wrapping two worlds in one blanket of emotion. Latest drawing took me on a 4 month roller coaster ride. I hope you enjoy! Karen you are v...

A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Sunday, 30 September 2007. Putting a dream out to pasture. Have you ever had one of these moments where you feel incredibly sad but also relieved? This is how I feel right now. I brought my gorgeous mare to her retirement home today. It's a great place. Where loved and well cared for horses come to live in peace. She walked off the trailer and into her new home with a serenity and a calmness I have seldom experienced. If growing up is the proces...

A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Friday, 9 March 2007. Here she is my gorgeous Lambda. Just finished this drawing for the first online show for the Canine art guild. Dogs are definetaly hard to draw, the hair and texture to render is such a challenge. Somehow this was a little thougher again. Lambda was with me for all 16 and 1/2 years of her life. It was as if every pencil stroke took me down another path of memory lane. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Prey - d...

Black on Grey on White: The day I rode Hurricane
http://sheonas.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-i-rode-hurricane.html
A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Wednesday, 12 May 2010. The day I rode Hurricane. Would you agree that, as an artist, knowing your subject is not only important but crucial? Which is why I could not believe my luck when the opportunity to not only photograph (once again) but actually ride one of the most charismatic horses. I'm a long way off knowing him as well as I could but I can honestly say a giant step closer than I was. the day before I rode Hurricane. Katherine: Thank ...

Black on Grey on White: Getting all technical
http://sheonas.blogspot.com/2015/05/getting-all-technical.html
A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Monday, 11 May 2015. Enrolled in Mike Sibley. S advanced drawing online course. I figured that after all these years of self-learning it was time. To let someone else deal with my stubborn mind. To get to grips with the technical side of drawing that I have quite happily dodged for too long! One week in and there is nothing more invigorating than being put in the spotlight and up against oneself and the clock. Speeding up is good. Ive attended o...

Black on Grey on White: Because I'm slow
http://sheonas.blogspot.com/2015/06/because-im-slow.html
A graphite artists studio insights, updates and happenings. Thursday, 25 June 2015. And need to take my time when drawing, the number of original drawings that come off my board yearly only just make it into double figures. Each created diligently and lovingly over dozens and dozens of hours. This leads to frustration (yep! Compensated by either filling the studio loudly with alternative rock, way too many cups of coffee and on a really mad day extremely strange dance moves. I don't sketch: I shoot!
