Race Report: Heart of the Summer 10K

I did this race with Linda although she opted for the 5K walk. I did the 10K race then after that I decided to walk with Linda. the temp that morning was cool by my standards but I could have done without the jacket I guess. The photo was nabbed from a site selling prints.

By the time we were done with the walk I was very sore. Almost 10 miles of exercise and the last 2 miles was in the drizzling rain. But it was fun to be with Linda. I can't remember my time on the 10K but I do know that I wasn't all that happy.

Drawing Class Update

I'm nearing the end of the online drawing class I have been taking. Only one week to go. In the last few weeks it's been difficult to keep up but I think in all I only missed 1 of the 10 assignments. I haven't been exposed to anything dramatically new - it is a basic class after all - but it has been a great experience and really forced me to draw. Why a moose? I have no idea. I found an image of a moose in google while searching for something else.

The above drawing is a contour drawing. The purpose is to use just lines to form the volume of the subject. It forces the artist to think in terms of shapes and volumes instead of trying to reproduce the lights and darks. It's an excellent exercise and one that I will continue to explore.
