Big palm
Posted: July 16, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsAfter many days of drawing and not too much painting it feels great to get back to full color. It’s going to take some time to absorb all that I learned at the symposium in Santo Domingo and I hope to write about it when I return but for now I think I’ll just let it sink in. There are some sketches from workshops I haven’t even posted yet because I need to think about them a bit more and process the concepts. At some point everything you are learning gets a bit muddled in your head and I think taking some time to write it all down will help me to sift through it all.
Heh Shari – I was excited to get home yesterday and catch up on your posts. It sounds like the workshops have been pretty intense. Time to relax now under this protective palm. Great patterning here – you’ve captured the essence beautifully.
It was extremely intense and relaxing under that palm is a welcome change. But now all I really want to draw is people. Architecture looks pretty boring now when I compare it with the life going on in front of it.

I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying my daily dose of your peripatetic adventures. Your drawings incite a newfound interest in familiar places from Ste Anne de Bellevue to Paris to Dominican Republic… and beyond!
An amazing, powerful Palm tree trunk, love the perspective of it looking up and the pattern of all the branches throughout, and the colour! 🙂
Shari,
Lovely composition.I now call you the “Queen of Green”!
I took one of my free sketchbooks and wrote down notes from the Portland Symposium.
I was so overwhelmed by the three intense days of workshops and meeting so many people.
It helped to take time once it was over to collect my thoughts and new approaches.
OK, now your palm trees are convincing! They’re definitely not looking like plastic palm trees this time.
Glad you like them Ross.
Color suits you !! Nous te retrouvons, si l´on peut dire.
Tu décris bien le processus d´assimilation nécessaire après les workshops, curieuse de connaître tes impressions.
I will write more when I get home Marisa. It feels great to get back to my colors but I can’t stop drawing now too!
Ahhhh, I would have had to sneak off and sit on the beach for a day… looks like a blast! Great greens in this… you mix those, or use something already mixed?
