Retreat drawings/ sketches, photography and paintings

 Silent Retreat


I did while I was on retreat.

Still learning. Look at a photograph for 20 seconds. Then try to draw with your memory. How many times I have looked at this photo over the past 19 years. I still have a time, trying to draw from memory.


Draw the same photo sideways. This was really fun. I was amazed how this was energetically. 
I struggled on the picture above but with doing sideways it was so fun to see how your brain interpreted it. 


I meditated most of the week, with small breaks for drawing and painting. This is all about drawing everyday, right? Here is the assignment: Symbols in drawing.

 Hatha Yoga in the light

Tree in the woods
Drawing of tree above

 Drawing and water color on the right. This was more of a sketch, done in charcoal. I then added watercolors. 

Picture of the farm house and orchard. This took two days, Charcoal and watercolors. 
A good practice. 

When I arrived home, I continued Assignment 6



This was very faint in pencil. I lightened it on a iPhone app. 

I still have the sketch to do on Assignment 6. Until tomorrow. 



I love photography too.
