A Cabin Commission
Cabinart – making art of cabins, using pencil. That is my roots. Now that I oil paint, when a commission drawing for a cabin comes along, I am thrilled. Thrilled, I say!
The defining characteristic of this cabin is the group of massive trees in the front yard. The truth is that I sort of wanted to draw it in a vertical format, focusing on the trees with just a hint of the cabin peeking through. That’s not why people want their cabins drawn, so I provided several sketches and this was the winner. I’m happy when my customers are happy!
Very nice! I’ll say it again, I love your drawings!
Thank you, Cheryl. I’ve certainly had a zillion hours of practicing with pencil.
Aaawww…it’s wonderful. How long did that take you? Seems like you did that in mere hours. I would think mere weeks. I LOVE IT! The pencil drawing AND the cabin.
Deb, it seems quick to you because suddenly the finished piece pops up! There were many trips to the cabin for photos from different angles in different light, time spent editing the photos, 3 sketches made and presented to the people, and THEN I began drawing.
My drawing students get tired of me telling them, “You can be fast or you can be good. Me? I get to be both!”
Thank you for your comment – I LOVE to draw cabins in pencil and it warms my heart to hear you share that!
