New stones drawing

I’ve started a new drawing and I find it interesting to note how different my approach is to this one compared to a similar one I recently completed.  Both are of stones in glass vases, but in the first one I drew the rock and glass first and the background last.  With this newest drawing I executed the background first, then moved on to the glass vase, and saved the rocks and vase interior for last.  This drawing also contains a water element; the rocks are resting in water in the vase.  In the first drawing there isn’t any water.  I’ve posted the comparable stage post below.

Rocks in Vase

The new drawing is almost complete, and I’ll be posting a photograph of it soon!  Listening to books on tape/CD is really helping my output, especially when the genre is mystery/thriller.  I can’t stop working and can’t wait to get back to work . . . .

  1. Really interested to see how this one turns out . . . hopefully it’ll be finished while I’m still at home! :)

  2. Oh Alex, it’s finished and it’s beautiful, if I do say so myself! I’ll post a photo of it as soon as there’s some good natural light in my studio for photographing. Can’t wait to see you in a week!
