Not Perfect, Just Kind of Constant In NOT Quite Right

OK, I was told that my art style is "loose" which I've been told is something that artist strive for. For me it's all "loose" as I don't think I could draw a straight line. The good thing is, all of my non-straight lines together appear to result in something that people (and my self) likes.

It happens almost everything I start on a drawing, I mess up. this angle is wrong, these lines I missed, etc. but I keep going forward. Art is not perfect but an interpretation and in my life I skip a lot of things (aka, details) to get to the larger concept which is what I end up with.

If I was to try to draw perfectly then my style would ceased to exist. Go figure.

It's more of a reflection of my life where, yeah I miss details but the bigger picture is there.

I feel for people that want, strive or need everything to be perfect. I've read articles where that's a hard personality to have because of the stress on one's life. From a software Engineering background I've seen perfectionists that get frustrated with non-perfect software that they have created. I've experienced projects that never get finished or released because of the concept of "perfect" is not realistic. The problem of perfect is that it's subjective, both in software (how is this supposed to work) and in art (what I'm I looking at?).

You can get close to perfect with checklists and procedures but art and life is not a thing but an experience.

So in your art (and life) keep plugging away.

A Process

Once in a while I take photos of a work in progress. This is for me as well as others as the work moves from stage to stage. And it is done in stages with defined processes for each step. On this walkway overpass up in Spruce Pine, I've done both an ink / marker and an Ink / Wash on the same piece. This is the finished watercolor of the work. To start the process I did an ink drawing of it and then took a tracing from that. It's the tracing where I did another ink drawing but this time on watercolor paper. Tracings of a work is done with standard tracing paper. I get mine from CheapJoes.com and use the 8x10 size as that covers most of my needs. The tracing is done with a 0.3 ink pen (Winsor & Newton Fineliner). Once I have the tracing I can then use it for other paper or to do another work of the same subject. The tracing is just a start as I still need to get it transferred onto other paper. For that you need a very bright light...

Still Life

Life is never still, at least I don't think you would want it to be. That's why so many of us (i.e., retired care free people) travel. Keep seeing new things and places. Well the Hurricane so far inland was a new thing and one I would have rather forgone but life is what happens. Life keeps moving. Except a still life is forever and captures a slice of time frozen in a painting. This is from a wooden bowl of pears onboard our ship during dinner one nice. Again, just thought it looked nice. Enjoy.

3rd Try is a Charm

I've been trying to draw / paint these barns for a couple of years but never felt or got them right. This time I think they turned out right. So What went wrong before and what's right now with this drawing? This time, the light was right. It's coming from the upper right and the shadows just looked right. The other thing is the corn field on the left had to "be in season", otherwise it's just a plowed field. I had taken other photos from different angles but they never felt right. This angle has the road, power lines, corn field, etc. all leading to the right. The shadows on the lower right helps fill in that corner (don't forget about the corners!). The last part is trying to draw (ink paint maybe) the trees in the background. Not so easy when they are kind of a blob is green shades. So yeah, it's composition that is king. Many times I just don't see it until the drawing / painting is finished and when it's right it feels goo...
