So, remember that painting I was telling you about that I was so excited to finish and show you? Since I discovered I could sketch, I haven't touched it... But I will - eventually!
I have the same feeling with sketching that I had when I first discovered I could ride a bike when I was a young girl. So amazed that suddenly it worked that I did nothing by ride my bicycle. Now, I am thinking of trying some sketches from life, which is probably quite different again...
In any case, I have also done a good bit of knitting and will have some things to show you tomorrow... I hope you are all having a most wonderful weekend!!
Very nice sketch. I think it is much easier to sketch from a photo than from real life.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Have a lovely week-end.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Silke,
ReplyDeletewir freuen uns über deine Aktivitäten.
Es ist alles sehr ansprechend.
Frohe Grüße
Angela und Elisabeth
Love it and the beautiful lines that are from the experiences of your life. Have a great weekend and Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteNo crows feet, only *smile lines*!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! And yes, sketching from life is different, well, it is for me. I have almost always used photos (other then when I was in school) simply because of the odd hours I keep and when I have a quick five minutes to devote to something.
I did a couple of paintings that were strictly from a model set up (still lifes) and I to this day don't know how I got them done before the subects rotted.... LOL!!!
XXOO~~♥

You GO GIRL!!! :-))
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've found this new creative outlet for your energy! Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteYou make me feel like sketching! Oooh, I love that feeling of discovering a newfound skill. Isn't it great how, if you put the two portraits together, you and Daniel are facing each other? Shish boom bah, Go Silke, Go Sike, rah rah rah!
ReplyDeleteSilke, viel Spaß beim zeichnen - es ist immer sehr schön, wenn man Dinge tut, die man liebt. Viel Spaß und ein schönes Wochenende, Inge
ReplyDeleteHonestly this is a much older and heavier you, but I could see that it was you! Keep it up. After a sketch a day for a few weeks you will be amazed at how much you will improve, practice makes perfect. xoxo
ReplyDeletei love your excitement silke! i've been busy making jewelry for my little show next week and now i'm hoping i can find a bit of time to sketch or paint tomorrow. i've been told to sketch every day, it will make me a better artist. i believe it, but i don't have the time. it will be fun to see how you progress.
ReplyDeleteit's fun when we become friends with our smile lines, ha-ha!!
Keep it up. You are so very amazing. Hard to believe this is your third (?) sketch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Silke..wonderful work. I love the eyes and the expression!Yay..you look awesome!
ReplyDeleteSketching is such a different realm and it is exciting in a different way..when we were kids we always had a pencil in hand and paper and always drawing..so when i am in that mood to draw it brings me back to a youthful excitement. wonderful post!
