Openwork Belt Fitting, Sketch 019

Posted on February 17, 2015 by treshabarger

Openwork Belt Fitting with Serpent Design, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917.

I took two photos of my sketch with two different cameras and both photos came out a bit yellow. Still have lots to learn about photography, too.

Ghost, Sketch 018

I watched a YouTube video by Vamos Art and thought I’d try to sketch the ghost. This time I didn’t aim to replicate the subject, but to represent the concept.

Boo!

He has a lot more art supplies (and talent, skill, experience) than I do, I can see that right off. I did, however, use three — count them, three — pencils for the ghost.

Flour Sifter, Sketch 017

Posted on February 15, 2015 by treshabarger

My grandmother’s flour sifter. I searched online for information about Brite-Pride (the name on the sifter) but couldn’t find anything about the company. I drew the sifter just a tad too big, not leaving quite enough room for the red handle.
