Buddha, Left handed

Left Hand Drawing

In Jane LaFazio's Sketching and Watercolor, Journal Style workshop we were asked to

draw a continuous line drawing with our left hand.  I decide to draw one of my Buddha statues.

The drawing only took a little while, but I kind of liked it.  I was surprised, however, when

people in the class remarked that it was "so full of emotion".  Hmmm I can see it but guess

the directness of my left hand drawing came through.

In week 6 we were asked to draw a man-made object.  I found that I just didn't want to

draw kitchen appliances or the like.  So I did a right hand drawing of my statue.  It was easy

to draw the upper half of this statue but I kept on erasing and redrawing the bottom half.  I

still wonder about some of the details.  The color, which began when I picked up the wrong

colored Sharpie Pen actually turned out to be a happy accident.  I have always loved images

of the "Medicine Buddha", the Buddha depicted as being blue.

So which Buddha do you prefer?  I am always looking for comments about my posts.
