quick and slow


Drawing practice can take an extensive a mix of skills and approaches to the subject. I'm working on two lately--trying to draw what I saw in a quick glance, and the opposite--slowing myself down to record the overlapping shapes of something more detailed.

So this page has one of each: the cranky turtle from the Comcast TV ad, done from memory of what I thought I saw, and a group of sansevarias that I accurately recorded with (for me) more patience.

Is there such a thing as accurate impressionism? I think that's my artistic goal.
