Danielle Draws
Hello! A Tumblr seemed like a natural place to get back into drawing. As art is a place of inspiration for me, I'll on occasion also share museum reviews, art book reviews, etc.
Looking for another Tumblr to follow? Here's a second one I have.
All my best,Danielle

Sketch No. 129 of a hand in Sir John Everett Millais’ Ophelia
Millias was an English painter and illustrator and one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This group of artists, organized in 1848, wished to create fresh and sincere art, free from what they considered to be the tired and artificial manner propagated by the successors of Raphael in the academy.
Ophelia was completed between 1851-1852 and is currently held at the Tate Britain in London.

No. 128
My sketch today is of the hands in John Sloan’s “A mechanical ‘Baa-Baa!’ issued from the painted mouth of the toy lamp,” 1906
John Sloan was part of the Ashcan School of artists. The Ashcan School, also called the Ash Can School, is defined as a realist artistic movement that came into prominence in the United States during the early twentieth century, best known for works portraying scenes of daily life in New York’s poorer neighborhoods.

Another one from the Kimbell of an El Greco painting called Portrait of Dr. Francisco de Pisa.
Who Dr. Fransisco and in the previous painting Don Pedro are of little importance to me. It is in the technical skill that is required to execute both that I find myself humbled and fascinated.
No. 126
This is a sketch of a Velazquez painting I saw on my recent trip to the Kimbell Museum. The painting’s title is Portrait of Don Pedro de Barberana.
I love how Don Pedro is covered in black except for his hands and face.
