This was today, at
Jim Sannerud's woodworking shop at ACVR Warehouse. Jack is the Official Woodshop Dog.

| Jack's Favorite Chair, 10 x 7.5", carbon pencil and pastel pencil on paper |
Drawing animals from life is challenging, because they do move. What I've learned is that they will often keep returning to the same few basic positions, so if I'm patient I can generally get what I want.
In this case, I simply had to capture those white paws hooked over the seat cushion. Fortunately, his feet were the things Jack moved the least; it was the head that kept shifting around.
Beautiful drawing !
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a particular favorite of mine. :-)
ReplyDeleteTracie, I'd love a print of "Jack in his favorite chair" ... will that ever be available? Are you going to have an art show at the coffee shop? Nokomis Beach? --Mary Wickstrom
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at various options for having prints made. :-) I'd like to keep the quality high but keep the price reasonable, and that's going to be tricky. Will let you know!
