by Karen Lynn Ingalls Today I drew these three oaks in my backyard. I love how the two older trees curve, making such interesting shapes in the air (negative spaces, in artistic terms).
I wanted to draw them in particular since the middle tree will have to come down before winter, because it is rotting at the base. I'm hoping the little oak tree sprouting from its roots will grow into something as lovely and interesting.

The clouds parted and let the sun through this morning, just in time for this summer's first official Sketching Calistoga workshop. There's so much to choose from in this town, and only so much time, so we chose a couple of iconic town scenes. I've posted some of my sketches here, on the Sketching and Drawing page, and on my art blog, at Karen Lynn Ingalls – Line, Color, Paint, Joy.
The next Sketching Calistoga workshop comes up on Sunday, May 22nd, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. |
