One thing leads to another...
abstract collage, 1-3-2018
Yesterday I shared pictures from (and art inspired by) my New Years Day adventure at frozen Niagara Falls. After I wrote that post, I was inspired to look through some old family photos because I remembered that when my uncle was little, they "shut off" the American side of the falls. I was very excited to find the photos I was looking for:
Niagara Falls, 1969 (American side "shut off", Canadian side still "on")
These photos lead to some loose drawing exercises for my
morning warm-up...
Techniques I used include:
- Contour drawing/ Blind contour drawing
- Non-dominant hand drawing
- One-liners
(I used one of today's drawings combined with yesterday's textured papers to create the abstract collage at the top of the post.)
