A great way to explore different drawing techniques is to tackle just one subject. Something as simple as an apple is perfect for this.
The shape is geometric. You can draw it both spatially and flat, with or without shadow, in colour or black and white.
All kinds of drawing and painting techniques are eligible. If I want to draw but don’t have much inspiration for a subject, an apple is always a good alternative.
A sweet postcard I received from a dear friend inspired me to have another look at my shell collection. How beautiful is nature!
Really the last one about apples. For the time being, haha. It is a nice subject after all.
Everyone has his fads and fancies. Mine is that art is very important in people’s lives. Ever since the financial crisis started there is an atmosphere in Holland, and probably in other countries as well, that art is a hobby. So creative development is skipped from the curriculum at schools. Bad mistake!!
