….somewhat empty sketch books in the studio and decided to fill one with a month of quick line drawings.

…on this drawing for the past 46 days. The paper size is 18 inches by 24 inches and the actual drawing is about 16.5 inches square. I am using Cretacolor Nero pencils on Canson mixed media paper. I am drawing from a photograph. There is no way a bouquet of flowers lasts 46 days. This is quite an intense drawing project. I never imagined the time involved. I am able to invest about 1-2 hours of time into it per day before I lose focus and attention. Attending to the details is serious work! This drawing is the first in a series of drawings I plan to make into the future, just a bit larger.

Take a look at my progress below.
