Although I never had a drawing habit before, I was seriously gripped by a desire to learn to draw. So I took the course and have been more or less practicing drawing ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I&#8217;ve refocused and recommitted to daily drawing, the whole point, really. Also doing monthly self-evaluation and goals. As my bookmaking is coming alive, I want to add drawings to my books. I want to document my surroundings in Maine and on my travels. I want to pay that particular attention to drawing a subject, spending time with it, observing closely. I want to play with mark-making tools and papers.<\/p>\n<p>So I did my November self-evaluation and singled out four drawings I really like. These are cropped a bit awkwardly into a square format so they look like a set. All on Strathmore gray toned paper. I was discovering white highlights and working on form and shadow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6935\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5316-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6936\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5317-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6938\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5318-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5319.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6937\" width=\"750\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5319.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/img_5319-300x260.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I got back from India in July 2015, I saw an announcement of a drawing course offered by Roz Stendhal.
