I love the movement, Anne, and especially the shoes of the guy on the right! I often dread having to compose a piece, and then afterwards I realize that I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I think we have to tell ourselves that the “planning stage” is every bit as important as the “execution” phase, it just feels as if we aren’t making any progress. Just thinking about drawing a subject is excellent practice; after all, it is in our minds that the pieces are made, and the paintings are just a ballpark representation of what we were thinking.
These are all so beautiful, Anne. I love the way you use light and color!
mydoublelifeinitaly, I’ve never thought of planning a drawing in the way you described it here. That’s a wonderful way of thinking of it! Thanks for sharing
