Art Waits For The Artist

Decided on some pattern play with the cityscape from yesterdays post. I love the layering of the buildings.

 My city scape waits to be painted. I do like the strength of the line work. 

Let's see how many variations I end up with.

Thank you for stopping by.

Stuck on a Sketch

 I have been playing with my lined city scape sketches today. I had drawn them  a while back as warm sketches. 
I have visited it may times trying to figure out how to bring it to the next level. 
I thought about painting it, repeating as a pattern or adding other motifs to it. 

When I am stuck on sketch I pull out my mini boxes which contain various shapes, motifs I have drawn, and color chips I collect. I also have an audience with my sketch books and pull from there as well. This is the exercise I do when in a creative funk. We all have our own style when we approach a creative hiccup. What's yours?

Some of what I have collected in one of my mini boxes.

Playing with color ideas for painting the cityscape.

Thank you for stopping by.
