Étude chromatique colorée à l'aquarelle dans le cadre du cours de dessin à la deuxième session. The final result of a color study exercise made in class. This piece got sold not long ago.

I drew based on a photo. It became a little darker than the original. I drew as an exercise. Tools: Derwent graphite pencils ; Paper size: A3

This started as something I was doing for fun, but turned into a very strenuous exercise on how to work with this many light sources.

A little exercise in my sketchbook to create a non-narrative comic. Just graphite, digitally colored.

Faber-Castell graphite pencils ; Paper size: A3 I drew based on a photo but differed this drawing from the original picture. Made as an exercise.

A little exercise is good for you, we know. Specially when one's home for what it seems like forever. But it's easier said than done. Still trying though. My legs hurt. Daily Drawing 690

Teaching painting is a great task to ask of a person who doesn't paint. I do not paint. I teach the manipulation of media through experience. "Learn from doing!" I say. Monochromatic pastel exercises help my students to get a handle on the media. We explore value and composition and the handling of media. Sometimes happy accidents occur. This was my example to the teens on composition and value. It is a journey.

Kitty Birdy Zen Trip - my daughter is always asking me to draw a kitty and a birdy, so I decided to combine them for this meditative art exercise.

"Picasso upside down drawing exercise" Drawing, from reference that Is turned upside down. This piece ended up having a pretty funny and "unfortunate" accident. Also I want to mention that I have an asd-diagnose which can lead to me overdo/overwork things. This Is a perfect example of just that ;)

I started sketching a scene and thought "I'm not that good at drawing trees", so rather than do an entire scene, I thought I'd have a go at a single tree as an exercise. In hindsight I used too thick a pen. Time to break out the 0.1 pens for future sketches.

A little painting exercise in Photoshop inspired by Gustav Klimt and the month of November.

This is an exercise made at school. It is a fantasy cityscape drawn from wood blocks in persppective.

Lighthouses offer a plethora of possibilities for metaphors. This was an exercise in composition and uses for watercolor.

A little exercise I'm doing, using these glass bottles as my model. There'll be more to come!

Another dress up exercise. This time is @finalfrantasy (on twitter)'s OC, Annette.

Often I am given to making marks on paper that reflect the objects I see coming towards me as I gaze out the front car window. I do this exercise as a passenger of course. The goal is not the end product, but the process of connecting what I see with motor control. The product is an indication of movement and energy. Give it a try!

An exercise in playing with gouache paint without a clear destination.

Joan Miró (1893-1983) Miró always maintained a rigidly inflexible daily routine—both because he disliked being distracted from his work, and because he feared slipping back into the severe depression that had afflicted him as a young man, before he discovered painting. To help prevent a relapse, his routine always included vigorous exercise—boxing in Paris; jumping rope and Swedish gymnastics at a Barcelona gym; and running on the beach and swimming at Mont-roig, a seaside village where his family owned a farmhouse. Miró hated for this routine to be interrupted by social or cultural events. As he told an American journalist, “Merde! I absolutely detest all openings and parties! They’re commercial, political, and everybody talks too much. They get on my tits!” From Daily Rituals: How Artists Work by Mason Currey
