Appealing Simple-Minimal Look
I Took a walk and found this interesting twig with seed pods that are very unusual. I Google Lensed it and nothing came up that looked similar. So I'm still curious as to what they are, and please leave a comment if you have any idea. The Autumn colors are what pulled me in and then the black seed that is so striking. Could have been the other way around, regardless, the beautiful dried pods intrigued me to draw them and my pastels became the medium. I may watercolor them as well and see how that works.
It's amazing to me, there is nature all around and finding a subject to paint or draw , well it's endless. "Paint what is around you," are words you'll often hear from artists out there in the art world. As far as cameras go, It's nice to have phones now that capture the fine details. I prefer painting or drawing from real life like I did in this particular drawing if I'm able.
For one of my assignments in drawing class at Chico State, we had to draw a picture using 4 different human faces where one had to be from a real life pose, like a person sitting in front of you. Then when we examined the drawing, we had to try and guess which drawing was the real life image. It was interesting to see the differences. Most people guessed my real life image correctly, it was my roommate Debbie, who was nice enough to pose for me.
