EDM 92 Brown Paper Bag
Okay, I admit I gave up on this one, it’s a long winded exercise in complex tonal values and I’m out of practise. I will make up for it with the egg carton.

EDM 91 Apple
Gosh, I haven’t done an EDM drawing since January this year. I’ve been trying out a new fountain pen called a Duke 209 which I saw Laure Ferlita use in a You Tube demo. It has a hooked calligraphy nib and is capable of producing very fine lines as well as very fat lines. I have drawn with it every day for the past 3 weeks so the process has obviously given me some confidence back and I am really enjoying exploring its capabilities. Hillary will be pleased that I’m back in the EDM saddle, so to speak.

EDM 90 Something With Wings
I started this in watercolour, it didn’t work, I spat the dummy and brushed a large red cross through it and folded the page in half in disappointment. Hillary (ever positive) encouraged me to salvage it, maybe try gouache, so I did. I bought some tubes of gouache many years ago when I learnt calligraphy and I only had 5 colours to work with on this ‘resurrection’ – prussian blue, lemon yellow, deep lake red, white and dried up black. Can’t get the fold out of the page, but you can’t see where the big red swash was, so not a bad recovery I thought.

EDM 83 A Nearby Body of Water – lake, ocean, pond or river
I live in the North Island of New Zealand and as such, this is not “nearby”. It’s in the South Island and I visited it in February 2011. I guess I consider that anywhere in New Zealand is “nearby”. This is Lake Dunstan, Cromwell, near the Clyde Dam, a spectacular spot.

EDM 82 Draw Your Art Space
 |  |
Here’s a slice of my art space. It would take too long to draw all the stuff in my space. I think it would be a good project for Andrea Joseph, but not for me.
