Two Sketches: In the Breeze and In the Sun

 

Profile, Breeze
(c) Sarah Myers 2020
Pen on paper

    What if we were surrounded by a beautiful, refreshing breeze?  Or what if we were sitting out in the bright sun, with a jaunty hat?

   Two different kinds of weather, but both being enjoyed by the two people in these drawings.  The first woman is shutting her eyes in the onrush of wind; she shows us a tranquil profile as she leans forward and the air whips a few loose strands of hair over her forehead.  The second lady, gazing at us with a smile, is clearly suited up for the a sunny day at the seaside; we can see the cheerful pattern of her sundress and its little tie at the back of her neck, not to mention that clever hat...

    These drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or peaceful faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

Two Sketches: Gentle Style

Elegance

Pen on paper

    Two graceful women in the sketches today, one turning her head in profile, elegant hair and draped gown setting off her poise; the other, with a neckline of lavish ruffles and gleaming round earrings but a wistful face, eyes that gaze out of the picture as if she was thinking of some future time...

Two Sketches: a Pair of Stylish Hats and Their Wearers

Three-Quarters, Lady in a Hat
(c) Sarah Myers 2020
Pen on paper

    For today, two hats which make quite definite statements, and their elegant wearers.  The first hat is a boldly stylish shape and carries a stripe across its jutting outline; the second is simply big and broad and would provide any amount of shade in a brash, sunny climate.  However I chose to name the second drawing after the lady's short shirt-jacket, a bolero pulled over her light polka-dot bodice.

    These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

Two Sketches: Ladies, Flowers and Changing Seasons

Lady with Daffodils
(c) Sarah Myers 2020
Pen on paper

    Two drawings with flowers; one, a lady holding a lavish bouquet of daffodils, and then – a picture of changing seasons, appropriate for the onset of colder days.  This second image shows a woman with hair streaming back; the flowers of summertime float away as the snow rushes toward her eager face.

   These two artworks are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

Two Sketches: Bright Sun and Dancer in the Wind

Bright Sun
(c) Sarah Myers 2020
Pen on paper

    Let's imagine what we would most want; a bright sun overhead, inviting us to bask in its light, or a warm wind blowing around us as we dance?  Or both?  These two sketches are about weather and our reaction to it; one lady reclining at ease in the brilliant sunshine and the other whirling in a breeze so strong her hair flies bodily into the air.

    These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

Pen on paper

    Here are two simple drawings; each is the head of a young woman, graceful, happy, just being who they are.  They are two of my favourites in this series of sketches.

   This pair of drawings is part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

Two Sketches: Woman in a Tiara and Profile of a Woman

Woman in a Tiara

     A golden tiara – resembling the diadems of Ancient Greece - ornaments the head of the lady in this first sketch.  The next drawing shows a lady with spiraling, fly-away curls and a light necklace of pearls trailing along her neck as she turns in profile.

   These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.
