Drawing on the Right Side

I'm starting to read this book. It' taking me forever, because I need the time to sit down and do some drawing. Usually it requires more than 5 mins. BUt here two of my "preliminary drawings." I had to draw a chair, and a face. The face had to be looking at someone or looking in the mirror. It couldn't be from a photo. I have the drawings...but I've got to get them into the right file format.

FF WEEDS - Bamboo

Yes, Bamboo is a weed here. Like crabgrass, only worse--12 feet tall and a web of roots that Bucyrus Erie can hardly move. But I like it. Mine are in containers. I got them when Josh was weeding his property edge. Our neighbor has some that have nearly black stems. The Atlanta Zoo used to come to gather some for the pandas. I shall have to go to ask for a few shoots. I like painting Bamboo. So did Wu Chen. He wrote a book on it 700 years ago.

The colored pic is watercolor. It takes four coats to get black.

FF ABSTRACT STAINED GLASS

Couldn't get the yellow-orange right, so I did a PC fill bucket. That looked good enough so I filled the two cropped versions. You can conpare the computer colors of the top two to the paint on the bottom one (but the yellow-orange is a fill. I still like paint, the feel, the smell, the texture of brush strokes--an actual, physical touch with the artist.
