My Bird Whistle

Frame Patterns

I am doing exercises on patterns again.

Today, I am doing only the corner of a frame 

and the different designs by imagination. 

And to make my drawing look real

Lui made me draw one of the birds flying nearby

and the small ant crawling on the floor

just to show the difference in sizes.

This exercise taught me patience

since it takes patience to draw and color

and apply finishing touches to my work.

And in the end, it makes me happy:

Table Cover Patterns

I am doing the patterns of our tablecloth.

And Lui asked me to draw something on top of it.

I suggested the local mango

and the prayer beads on my wrist!

Copying patterns is quite difficult

but Lui said that real art requires patience

and that I must take my time.

And in less than 2 hours,

I was able to make my own version

of our tablecloth and created a nice artwork!

Ceramic Set

I am drawing a ceramic plate and utensil design.

Lui said doing design patterns is a brain food exercise.

And to add some real thing in my drawing

I am using our yellow serviletta (table napkin):

And now here is my perfect table setting:

Ceramic Bowl

I am drawing a ceramic bowl from my imagination.

I make a half circle and draw a base

and make patterns around the bowl:

The shadow made my drawing look real.

But I wanted to make it more real. . .

. . . so I draw something inside the bowl  . . .

and trace one of Lui's key beside the bowl . . .

 

Now my ceramic bowl look perfect!
