I'm having issues. Big painting issues.
I "can't" do it. Or what I do try..I dislike.
I can't even show it...I'm too ashamed!
So back to drawing...
My neighbour, who is a print-maker/tutor/artist suggested I try drawing this hemp-twine apple
so I took a whole lot of photos and edited them to gray-scale ...
but I struggled with getting the tones and my head was doing too much thinking and criticizing so then I did some googling on painting techniques in the hope it would shed some light on what I'm not getting/doing wrong....argh. I'm so frustrated with myself! I'm thinking I'll do what THIS site suggests and do some tone blocks like I did for the first week's pencil toning blocks. Loosen up...free my head!
Drawing: 4 hours
