This week I participated in Drink and Draw for the first time. It felt a bit intimitating, all kind of self doubt kicked in. It was intensive, fast, tiring and exhilarating all at the same time. Had a well-earned beer afterwards 🙂
Drawing started with 5 x 2 minute poses, then 5 and 10 minutes and ended with 2x 15 minute poses. These 2-minute poses were so quick! To get some additional practice, I joined DnD patreon page and did some afterdrawings.
Drawing is fun! And life drawing is extra fun. DnD sessions are so laudable. I haven’t done any life drawing for 20 odd years, since graduating art college, and tese events make it easy and accessible again.
Take care,
Hedvig

Crocheting milestone!
The highlight of my week – finished the large piece of my tiled crochet project!! It took quite a bit of engineering, testing and remaking. I crocheted 4 corners separately, trying to keep the bottom of triangles curved. Sewed the corners to the ring and started crocheting all around, evening it out with different stitches. Read more
