A document of summer mark-making progress. Take away: it was very satisfying seeing these pages develop. Unexpected and somewhat joy-filled. How about that!
The parameters for summer drawing were: pen, no pencil pre-plannning, botanical and from life, not photos. I began with a Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Fineliner 0.1 at the beginning of July, but then soon gravitated towards a package of Staedtler Ball 432s from Staples (since redesigned and manufactured in a different country – yet to be determined whether the new ones will hold up). Any day I did not draw, I drew a small circle. Some days: a mix of the two types of pens. One day, a plastic lily stood in for something live. Lots of mistakes. I dated each set of marks. Keeping things simple and being flexible to new ways of working has continued to build my confidence as a person who draws daily.
