Hi lovelies, happy Wednesday to you! It is another WOYWW* day and I am very late showing my desk for the reason that I decided to clean the windows today. I figured I better do that before writing a blog post because once I am in my atelier chances are that I won’t come out until dinner time \ud83d\ude09 So household first it was and we have a LOT of windows in our apartment…<\/p>\n

After lunch, I took a photo of my desk as I left it yesterday.<\/p>\n

WOYWW #350<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(What\u2019s On Your Work desk? Wednesday (WOYWW) is a bloghop series hosted by Julia from the UK. Artists from all over the world post a photo of their desk on their blog and leave a link at Julia\u2019s blog. More info about woyww can be found here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\"woyww#350\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because the weather is bright and sunny today the photos all came out dark. I had to use a flashlight which overexposes the pages in the journal… Here’s a detail photo of the sketch I made on the page.<\/p>\n

\"sketch-portrait-2016-02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t like this sketch at all! It’s to universal… no character in this face and I will probably erase it and start over.<\/p>\n

That’s unlike the blind drawings I showed you last week… I LOVE the faces that come out when I sketch with my eyes closed! There’s so much more character and feeling in these portraits! I told you I wanted to work on the sketches some more but didn’t know what to do… Julia commented: “The blind drawing is brilliant, you wont cover up too much of it will you?” <\/em><\/p>\n

No, I didn’t.
\nI just added some bistre<\/a>-powder with some water sprayed on.<\/p>\n

The first drawing became a mess…<\/p>\n

… but I really do like the this one!<\/p>\n

I might create more of these drawings instead of sketching ‘common girls’ – but not this afternoon. I have some hours left before dinner and I plan on visiting a lot of your blogs\/desks.<\/p>\n

One more thing before I go: THANK YOU ALL for your sweet words and sympathy about all the noise I had to deal with in our apartment in the last weeks. I haven’t heard any drilling, hammering or milling this week so I have good hope they’re done with the renovation. Phew!<\/p>\n

That. The nice weather \u00e1nd the clean windows make me a happy camper today. Let the sunshine in, the suuuun shiinnne iiiiinnnn!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
