Your way of finding the best way of painting/drawing in a loose way is much like my journey of exploring watercolour. I recognize a lot. It is hard to stop in time and not to overwork, and I often paint the subject several times until I know how to simplify it. Your work is always a joy to look at!

It was not a big deal to draw favorite subjects -- for me, figures and something moving and alive. Exciting and so fascinating. I make a drawing in a few minutes and finish painting for less than twenty minutes. I do not like landscapes that do not move around. I try some, but always it bores me. Painful hours. So, I've decided to be honest with myself. Do figure! Find your own way, Isabelle. You, too, take care. <br />Best wishes, Sadami Sadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223349781550608010.post-24450765233951002182014-01-21T08:05:14.322+11:002014-01-21T08:05:14.322+11:00Thank u, Polly and appreciate your brilliant sense...Thank u, Polly and appreciate your brilliant sense of humour.

Tens of MILLIONs of drawings enable you to draw confident and simple lines in relation with value. So, just keep drawing. A few minutes quick drawing evryday is enough. Not a big deal. Do one drawing of something that interests you. It never needs to be a masterpiece. Just have fun. In 365 days, you'll find your amazing improvement. That's what I've been doing for years. I often look up great artists' sketches -- such as Rembrandt and Lautrec. They kept drawing anything and everything interested them. So, I picked up their way. No magic. <br />You, too, have a wonderful and creative week!!

I've grown up with Western art and kept drawing along its value centred style. So, when I looked at Japanese "ukiyoe" that does not have value, it shocked me! Sensation, so fresh, an eye opener for me. Ukiyoe has so fascinated me. I easily imagined Impressionists' overwhelming!! I'm a life long learner.<br />Your work has a different style. So beautiful, amazingly sensitive and painstaking -- I'm certain people love your work. Enjoy drawing!!! <br />Best wishes, SadamiSadamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072887743830381833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223349781550608010.post-89601163903816685682014-01-20T13:52:06.477+11:002014-01-20T13:52:06.477+11:00Hi Sadami, I'm reading in your post a lot of t...Hi Sadami, I'm reading in your post a lot of the things I've been thinking of lately. The ultimate goal for me is to find out how to express the most with the least means - the least lines or brushstrokes. This is the most difficult thing. You have mastered this with faces and facial expressions. Just like your base player, so concentrated in his music. And yes, leaving the details out, more suggested than depicted, makes for a much more interesting painting.<br />Have a very nice and productive week!Blagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596986317236711714noreply@blogger.com
