I used my broad-tipped nib again to begin today’s study. It takes some determination on the cold pressed paper, as there is a definite tooth to it. As I drew the short lines, I spaced them as the black keys of a piano. The design progressed from there.
I’ve been finding lost Mondrians all over the place. Here is Mondrian 300. Here is where I found it. Very clever, to change orientation. Didn’t fool me though. I will keep you all posted on any new finds. (Here are my previous successes: Found Art, More Found Art, Found Art In Situ, Mondrian 002 OXY, […]
I had a sighting of a Mondrian 002 today, with OXY! I’m sure that’s some kind of artist’s inside joke.
I had no preconceptions before I started drawing lines for this composition. The first line was the curve that is now adjacent to the yellow-orange color. The next was a wide check-mark-like line that defined the space above the first curve. I like my broad-tipped dip pen. It is a bit old, so sometimes when I […]
For some reason, I always like taking pictures of bicycles. Bicycles have symmetry; their styles change over the years, but the wheels stay the same. Backgrounds are equally, if not more important. Several things caught my eye in this scene. Is the bicycle rider really handicapped? The bicycle is pink (generally understood to be feminine), […]
I like this double portrait. I kept the lines simple, as I imagine Paul Klee would have done. I think I was able to capture some emotion in this portrait.
I found another Mondrian several days ago. The rare 240! Here is a listing of my previous finds: Found Art, More Found Art, Found Art In Situ.
I began this experiment with the tiny flowers. I drew a nose to sniff them. Then I drew wings, a little arm and some flowing hindquarters. I’m not sure why my imagination took a turn to the dark side (well, cartoonishly dark), but the tiny flowers became a lure on the tongue of a sniffbug […]
Joy and I were taking a walk this morning and we came upon this vine. It was strangling a Japanese maple tree. In slow motion. There was fruit hanging through the husk of a flower. The flower in bloom looked like a space ship, or some kind of helicopter landing pad. If anyone knows what […]
I’ve always enjoyed Paul Klee’s whimsical creatures and figures. I tried one of my own. I drew it with a bead of latex frisket, which so happened to deposit actual rubber beads and regular intervals. After some washes, and the removal of the mask, I outlined the white spaces with sepia ink. Maybe it is […]
