My Favorite Art to Create

As an art student here at Lewis I am in a few different art classes and it is encouraged to try as many mediums as possible. But here is my favorite type of art to create... 

I call them my Room Drawings

This was the first room I drew in 2014

I drew this kitchen/ dinning room scene last Christmas break

I love drawing realistic, very detailed rooms. It's fun and one of my favorite things to do. Sometimes I make the rooms up in my head and draw them. Sometimes I will go somewhere and will find myself in a random room that I just have to draw. I always like places a little cluttered or what I like to call "Lived- in". I am not very good at drawing people (yet?) so I draw the rooms as if everyone has just left. 

I drew this restaurant this past March. 

Room drawings never take long to create. I did the one above in about an hour and a half before my 9 am class last semester. I don't have a specific time of the day I like to draw; 

I draw whenever I am inspired.  

Drawing of a coffee shop on the cruise I went on in 2015.

This was one of my favorite drawing to do on location. When we arrived on the cruise ship I thought the coffee shop was just adorable and knew I had to draw it. During one of our days at sea, while my family was at the pool, I sat in the lounge across from the shop and drew it for a few hours. Other vacationers would stop and ask me about the drawing and to watch me draw. 

My favorite room drawing done in early 2015

While it is not the best drawing I have done, it's my favorite. I love all the details and its "i-Spy" feeling. I enjoy creating art that someone can look at for a long time; something you could come back to a few times and see something different each time. 

Room drawing I did in January 2017

I don't like to draw a room and then color it in; I think that looks like a coloring book and that's not what I am going for. What I have been doing lately on my drawings to add some color is to put a watercolor wash on it and then draw on top of it. 

Let me know what you think :-)
