My Evening Companions, ink and white colored pencil in sketchbook, 4/28/09

While I was at Snow Farm, I tried to fill all my awake non studio hours with sketching. After dinner we usually had an evening activity of some sort, like a guest artist or some kind of presentation. After it was through, I took a shower and then came back to the common area to make a drawing. I was pleased with myself when I made a little hour long sketch.

Oddly enough, when I was there I found it so easy to draw all the time; whereas now that I’m home, I’m finding it to be a bit more of a struggle. I did not have my laptop with me, which definitely gave me more time and less distraction. The zune that Justin convinced me to buy a couple of months ago paid off though, and I was so glad that I had music with me!

When I was making these drawings, I must have been thinking of Paul Heaston, or I was subconsciously influenced somehow because they remind me a little bit of his style. If you haven’t checked out his blog, please do so.
