I am slowly working my way through the first painting in Jim Musil’s online class. The class seems well organized and thought out and he is teaching his process. My progress on the one painting that he covered in month of May has been slow for many reasons. I hope to finish this week.
On a different note, the irises in my gardens have been spectacular this year. I kept wanting to do something with the purple ones by the alley, but they have come and gone. The same is true with the Siberian irises. They are getting close to being done.
When it was lightly raining this morning, I went out and cut one that still looks pretty good. I brought it in and went down and tried some rough sketches of the shapes.
Nothing fancy and no goal to capture an actual likeness. It felt good to have a pencil in my hand and explore.
