This sketch is the eighty-first in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day eighty-one: I woke up to heavy rain this morning, which came and went all day along with stiff winds. I love the rain, and even though it was cold, was delighted to pull out my favorite burnt-orange rain jacket and my umbrella that broke in Padua last fall, but which I repaired with a paper clip. This quick sketch is me, walking in the rain. I wanted to create the effect when rain is so heavy that you can’t quite see things. I might try this again another time. The pencil feels a little too dry to me, so I added a little color. Still dry. Maybe rich black ink next time?
