Graphite Drawings – Nordic Knitting Cont.
Nordic Knitting is still my reference (see previous post). Finnish patterns inspired this drawing:
Graphite Drawings
Some drawings. Some words too, but not many :).
I have a book called Nordic Knitting; a collection of traditional Scandinavian knitting patterns. Norway (Selbu pattern) and Sweden (Dalarna sleeves), inspired these pencil sketches. More underway ~
Of Sketchings
Yay more sketches :). I stay busy working/volunteering/taking classes in ceramics at a local community college, for which purpose I often scribble pottery ideas.

Portraiture Update
Another portrait commission :). This is the daughter of a friend of mine.
To answer a common question, I’ve worked from photos for all of my portraits. Painting from life would be best, if it were possible in my case.
The painting is 12″x16″, oil on cradled masonite.
More Sketches
Recently, I decided to only sketch with a pen because it forces me to be far more intentional with my marks.
I should, but don’t, sketch from imagination very often. Here’s a rare imagined tree ~
And here are some sketch studies of works by J.M.W. Turner.
