learn how to draw

Recently, I’ve drawn a canvas/wood lawn chair and bottlecaps.

Bottlecaps are extremely difficult to draw—all of those angles of light in the little ‘groovy’ things along the edge of the bottlecap. Who knew?

looking hard at something, and drawing it.
It makes me see things, REALLY see things.
It’s so hard to capture what I see.
That takes me back to ‘beginner mind.’
And that is feeding the writer side of me.

So far, I’ve drawn: dead tulips, corks, corkscrews, onions, a microwave, and a lemon.

Want to take a class, but for now, I’m on my own with it.
