Just in case you're wondering where I have been lately -- and you probably aren't -- I have been doing some stumping. What is that, you ask? Stumping is a technique of "blending or rubbing in deposits of dry colour from chalk, charcoal or pastel, using a roll of leather or paper known as a stump. Approximately a finger's length and diameter, with a stubby conical or domed point at either end, the stump duplicates the action of a fingertip but allows more control." Well, here is the start of my latest effort. I have a wonderful little enamel coffee pot that is so old, the dinosaurs made coffee in it, and I have always wanted to draw it. I go through phases where I don't draw for Have a fabulous weekend, everyone.
I can hardly wait!

Looks like you are off to a good start. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteKeep drawing, sketching and painting. You have a lot of talent and it is nice to see you are putting some of it to use.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest part of any project is getting started. Looks like you have a great start with that coffee pot and I know the finished product will be .... a work of art!
sounds interesting...I will be waiting to see more. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed multi-talented Jo! Love the red - can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteThe "stump" is something I've never heard of - not to be confused with Stumptown Coffee, right?
It's lovely , and so is your picture. You got the shade of red exactly right.
ReplyDeleteSeagulls always say "Mine, Mine, MINE!!" And I am saying it, too. You know why. :)
Enjoy your creativity. I loved the picture you painted about the ocean breeze, your treehouse and the cries of the seagulls.
ReplyDeletei have wondered where you've been!
ReplyDeleteyour red coffee pot is shaping up
beautifully, and i can't wait to see
the finished product.
Once I had alike a coffee pot...i just remind it..Very nice drawing...
ReplyDeleteLove it! Nothing makes me as happy as creating something. I am working on summer dresses for my g'girls. My sewing room looks like a hurricane came through, but I am in creative mode........time enough to clean and reorginize next week.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love it already and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product :o)
