I totally messed up the Tyvek painting. I plan to keep working on it with acrylic so I can cover up and correct the poor drawing which has created problems. I think I will make it more abstracted. I won't be able to get to it for a few days as I am hard at work cleaning out the library....going through bookshelves, drawers, cabinets, etc. in an effort to create a new space in which to work on my art during the colder months. My studio is in an unheated garage. Even in California, it is uncomfortable in the winter. I am slowly making progress.
I decided to get some drawing in this evening as I am watching the Olympics. I did about three sheets in my sketchbook tonight.
I love this man's face. He has a fantastic nose and a wonderfully haughty expression. Some of the drawings border on a Picasso quality but I like the distortion. This gave me an idea to start a painting this way, drawing multiple studies of the same face over the sheet and then add paint.

Interesting about what you thought of to draw during the Olympics on tv. I thought of doing gesture drawings of the athletes or my family as we watched, but, instead, my mind was on the situation in Georgia and I did a couple of sketches on that subject. I don't think that I can just sit and watch tv without paper and pen or pencil!
I know that you will come up with something wonderful with what you thought was a mistake. "Happy Accidents"!
Good contour drawings, and I like your idea of multiply (watercolor) paintings on a sheet...different sizes, angles and details. As we 60 somethings say...go for it Mryna! Or in the Olympic spirit...go for the gold, Mryna!
