ILLUSTRATED LIFE

Welcome to ILLUSTRATED LIFE and the art of Jeanette Jobson.

I am a visual artist living on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, printing fish and painting water. Mostly.

Daily drawings


Drawing is 'the' most important element of the artistic process.  It is the backbone of all art.  And like all skills, it must be maintained by constant practice.  This page is my accountability to myself and to the technique of drawing.

I am trying to draw daily and hope that the momentum will push me forward.  So the drawings don't get lost in the main blog, I decided to create this page to keep them together.   My work will be mostly dry media - traditional drawing, but there may be some washes thrown in there too when I have a need for quick colour.  Some drawings may be simple sketches, others may be finished pieces.
