Comic book visuals that captured the hearts of America, mystified me. My pencil
crossed the blank page pulling lines to create yesteryear's super heroine,
Wonder Woman. I don't remember coloring the pictures. It would have had to be
crayon, so I just used my pencil.
I sketch on location. Like my long time architect friend, Stephanie Bower. She
takes groups all over Seattle, Italy, Hong Kong, Asia, and more. She teaches
sketching and makes perspective easy. A great tool for drawing is her new book,
Urban Sketching Handbook, Understanding Perspective: She says in her
book, How does perspective work? And where is that darn vanishing point?
Understanding Perspective helps you bridge the theoretical world of Perspective
concept with the real world of on site sketching. Stephanie shows you how
in her book and online with her Crafty classes video.
Where is writing in this creative world of mine?
I didn’t get to choose between writing and painting until I decided to paint
Bierstadt’s Domes of Yosemite. Captivated by how the painting came to
life, although told as fiction, this true romance, Indigo Sky, is based on
Bierstadt’s journey.
