Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

[Zimmeh]

How are you feeling today? When I was in high school in PA, the art teacher had us do three point drawings of a city. To this day, I can still do it and I love doing it.

I am thinking once this semester is over, I might just do a three point drawing.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Thank you for the well wishes.. I am hoping if I go to bed early.. and take some stuff before I do so.. I will wake up tomorrow headache free. smiles.



Aleve is on the agenda. I normally take Advil.. and I also have 800mg of Ibuprophen in the house too.. I had forgotten about Aleve though.. and have used it before with good results.. so if I wake up tomorrow with the same pounding.. I will head up to the pharmacy and get some. Thank you.




scoote.. I am glad you are starting to feel better. Well I am sure the hood vent being down and you breathing all that nasty stuff in.. did not help your head at all.. let alone your lungs. .. even with the ventilation of having the doors open. The headaches just stink because they just knock the energy right out of you.

laughs @ the innocent look.. and chocolate cake sounds goooooood. However, I am thinking I might do some french pressed goodness..

Get better soon, scoot

Good Morning Zimmy, (yes here I am at 1:40am with insomnia)

I am feeling better.. the headache seems to have finally left.. I ended up getting some Aleve and using that.. it worked better than the high dose of Ibuprophen.. who knew? laughs.. well obviously you did..

I loved Art class in school and college. I have always been an appreciator of the Arts.. and could walk through galleries upon galleries.. in fact I took a vacation once and that was all I did.. was visit any Art gallery or museum that I could find..

you should do a three point drawing.. then take pics we can see it.. grins.. see Me and My ideas.. always finding work for you.. just like the wrangler for the Christmas Cards.. laughs..

I hope you had a peaceful night.

As Always,
Jake

Hi Jake: Glad that your headache is better!!!! A drawing experiment that I want to take part in is to do a portrait of someone with the reference photo upside down! It is said that doing it this way will make the portrait more lifelike and accurate. The reasoning is that if we are doing something familar we often do not see the entire picture, which makes sense. Rather like walking the same way to work or the store. The first time, one sees many things. But over time, we miss a lot. Anyone else want to try it?

Hi kats,

Thank you for the kind words.

The experiment you speak of sounds interesting. I was sitting here trying to think if I had ever tried that before.. even with basic sketching, and I have not. I am also surprised given I have taken Art in school and college none of My professors and/or teachers ever had us try this method. It totally makes sense.. given the reasoning you shared. Anything done over and over.. we are bound to miss something, indeed. For one because we never see the true "big picture". That is why when I sketch, paint, etc.. I always stand back a million times and try to see it in "full view". I also go through ALOT of paper. laughs. I hate to think how much of that I have thrown away over the years.. just because 'one' thing was off. It is also the reason it takes Me forever to finish a project..

I think I could give it a shot.. so are we talking..just a basic sketch of something simple to start out with?

ALSO.. this is NOT in any way getting Zimmy out of doing the 3-point drawing.. if she decides to participate. laughs.

The experiment spoke of just portraits. I imagine it could pertain to anything. Often when doing watercolor paintings I have my easel board upside down to get the values to sink into the underside of an object; have that color run deep the closer it is to the underside of the object. Isn't it fun to talk about art and techniques? Have a great night and I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight!

Sounds like Scoote's getting ornery in old age

I think Scoote was born ornery

Hope everyone's having a good day...I took the dog to the groomer (Scoote has been calling him "ass breath" again....so he needed it), lubricated the garage door (which has been sticking halfway up and being generally annoying), went grocery shopping, and am slow cooking brisket for dinner....OH...and I worked too

Good Morning Jake,

I will see what I can do about the drawing. Speaking of the Christmas Card list, I am sending it out in a few minutes.

Have a wonderful day,

Zimmy
