"Talent and all that for the most part is nothing but hogwash. Any schoolboy with a little aptitude might very well draw better than I perhaps; but what he most often lacks is the tough yearning for realization, the teeth-grinding obstinacy and saying; even though I know I'm not capable of doing it, I'm still going to do it."
-M.C. Escher

Weekly Painting - Drawing?

Here is the weekly painting.


I did these a lot in high school.. instead of actual school work.  I was going to paint it, but I decided not to about halfway through.  While not technically a painting, I really enjoy these, and it was very cathartic.  I think I will keep doing these along with my regular studies.

    I really like that. What did you use? Is it pen and ink on an 8x11 sheet? Very nice.

      I used a dip pen and waterproof ink on watercolor paper. The original intention was to color it, but I think it works without it.

    Thank you for that info.

    I agree. It's complete as is. Wonderful work!
