Here are both my pieces for VSD: Virtual Sketch Day - July.
I am most pleased with both pieces. I loved everyone Artwork for the June VSD and for July VSD. VSD has had a profound effect on me. I just love the concept of rendering a Beautiful original artwork, from someone's Photo.
I belief it is because of all the 'Studio Drawing' I had in College.
Seeing these wonderful finished pieces and the approach used by each person in the VSD challenge to capture the Unique area of the Photo, well it is almost overwhelming. In 'Studio Classes', one did not get to choose the medium to execute the huge and varied stills confronting you at 0700a.m. in the morning and a finished piece to be turned in by 1200a.m. Choosing your own media came as the surprise on the 'Final Test Day". How shocking if you did not carry all you mediums with you and had not the opportunity to be told by those before you of such a shock! I wonder if I would have learned more in my 'Studio Drawing' had there been a class where the Student chose which medium to work in that day? I regret there was not a Still set up to explore the use of photography. (Something to confront.)
VSD-Virtual Sketch Day! is a wonderful open opportunity for those who choose to participate.
