I have been wandering around trying out different sites. So this is a compliment for Daily Paint Works, I left other sites and made my way back here. I believe I am home here, meaning I won't be going anywhere. Sometime back I read about the challenge of painting a car of the past, and I did a drawing of Pop's first car, in front of the house he grew up in, but I believe I want to place it in a mountainous landscape scene. I want to start at the challenges from the beginning and work my way up to where we will be at the present time. I don't want to miss out on the skills we will learn as we fulfill each challenge. Thank you Daily Paint Works for being here for us.

It's the same with the cups. I also am using my viewfinder. I have a trick where I make little marks on my viewfinder and corresponding marks on my panel. It's sort of like a simplified gridding, and this makes it much easier to place my initial boundaries of objects. I put all this in my book, "Daily Painting," but you can see a little excerpt in this blog post: http://carolmarine.blogspot.com/2014/10/pink-house-2-again.html Start with the second paragraph...

I will post soon about how the second ellipse is a little different from the first. : )Carol Marinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855632528757673268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-56302844769402571252018-01-24T08:39:15.805-08:002018-01-24T08:39:15.805-08:00Joanne- Yes, cups have perspective too, but it'...Joanne- Yes, cups have perspective too, but it's so subtle that I find getting close is good enough.

Same thing goes with everything, not just cups: I simply cannot see if my proportions are right until I have drawn a substantial part of the thing.<br /><br />I seem to mostly conceive of things as interlocking shapes; I have almost no ability to judge proportions on things. I have to draw the shapes and see if they fit. <br /><br />And thus, try as I might, I have never been able to follow the advice that says "first make sure the proportions are right."

If you’re drawing a clear glass cup, do you just do a double set of ellipses on the same vertical line?Gina G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06890981088289305518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-8074291134537070992018-01-23T19:28:34.671-08:002018-01-23T19:28:34.671-08:00Thank you!Tomorrow AM..☺️Thank you!Tomorrow AM..☺️La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-59221463079213031912018-01-23T18:20:03.462-08:002018-01-23T18:20:03.462-08:00Hi Carol
