So here it is, the first one in another 30 in 30 line up. This time it is going to be various drawings. The rules are pretty much the same as before, but with a few alterations. The medium has changed as has the paper size, but I think the time constraint is going to be kept the same (no more than 1 hour for each piece) and probably the location will remain the same (at home on the dining room table), although I will have to work in other places if I have to be out and about for my son or other family members.

This piece is of my son Josh, who is 4 years old going on 34! He was reading his Spanish flash cards whilst I drew him.

30 drawings in 30 days! new project starting

Tomorrow, Monday 9th June, I am begining the new project. They will not be paintings but drawings - using pastels, pencils, charcoal & maybe a little drawing pen here & there. I have already pre-cut my 30 pieces of paper & my art bag is ready to go!

I'm going for a walk now because the sun is out & it's going to be really warm today - hopefully at least 26 degrees C.
