Koi gestures

Every other Friday I meet two sketching companions at nearby Como Park. As the weather has cooled, we’ve moved inside to the Conservatory. I recently captured some Koi gestures while gazing into the dark koi pond and hardly gazing at my paper. I enjoy the energy of gesture drawings  – with live fish it’s impossible to capture much else because of the constant movement — in this case the eyes and mouths really stood out! It might be helpful to remember this movement while re-designing my minnow stencil!

thanks, Jude – fun to let go and not look (so much) at the paper!

Couldn’t resist. Ha!

Kit,did you finish making the pleated Katazome shade?

he he… Shari, I put the shade aside because I had other priorities. I will get to it eventually, and will share it here, as planned. 98% of the time I follow through, but I am sometimes s – l – o – w!
