Day 4 challenge was to create 5 sketches, each taking no
more than 5 minutes. We also could only use our fingers or a business card.
For my first drawing I did a drawing the way I would
normally draw. I was not sure what 5 minutes would feel like for time. I did
mine in 4 minutes.
So for my second one I thought I would try a landscape by
adding glass powder with my fingers or the card. The landscape lesson yesterday
had been a struggle for me. I was happy with my miniature landscape. I tried
doing a playful drawing of a building and some pines. I made this one in 4 minutes.
I continue with another landscape
this time with a horizon line.
My 4th drawing was of a bird. This is
my favorite I have been wanting to draw a bird. The back ground is messy as the
timer went off before I could clean it up.
Number 5 was a pear, I was trying to
do something different with each miniature. I was excited to have a kiln full
of drawings to fire and forgot to take a picture of the pear. You can see it in
the kiln load photo in the front.
4 days and a kiln full I am going to have to
dig around for more sizable scrap to draw on or I am going to have to be more
selective as to which to fire. May just be taking some photos and tapping the powder off them to start the next one.
I enjoyed drawing the bird so I did a study of another one,
not paying attention to time and obviously not paying attention to the glass
size.

Sounds like you are having as much fun as I am. I have already learned a lot from my quick sketches. Some things are easy for me to draw...others-hmmmm. Anyway awesome job!
Hi Wendy,
I did much better with the 5 min. sketches. I am trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and learn. I find that I spent too much time looking for images that I would like to try. Not to mention keeping up on what is going on the FB page and blog. I have work to do. I was happy to see that you were doing this too. I think the things we struggle with is where we learn the most.
