Quicksketches
For something completely different, I just decided to try some “non-thinking” quicksketches. Trying to forget about structure, let just the lines go (without taking the pencil form the paper at any time) and just look at the shapes and lines and contours. Trying to close my analytical mind – I decided to try this just following a conversation I had with Colleen Doran while she was here in Madeira. Just trying to let the linework more fluid.
Lots of quicksketches done today, from photos, from tv, from live models, from magazines… trying to think in terms of shapes and lines (and not really objects) – just my first step to try different stuff with watercolors.
Here is one quicksketch:
