Bronze Oinochoe, Sketch 057

Posted on March 27, 2015 by treshabarger

Estruscan, late 6th–early 5th century BCE

It just turned out that at the beginning of this week I did a couple of jugs and jar sketches. Then I decided to keep that theme for he rest of the week. Thomas, over at OneDrawingDaily.com, is doing a series on world leaders. So I’m considering the idea of themes, as well, and I’ll be trying out that idea (just themes, not world leaders), probably for a week at a time, and see how I do.

How did it sit upright?

And with this sketch, I filled up my first sketchbook. I don’t even remember when or where I got the sketchbook. I had it a very long time before using it. The first sketch is dated 07 December 2014 and the last one 22 March 2015. There were lot of breaks in the chronology, as I stopped and started several times. My kit has the sketchbook, a 2B pencil, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener.

Sketchbook #1, all filled up!
