DEADINDIAN PAINTBRUSH DRAWING HOW TO

You can then draw straight lines within that shape to indicate the hairs if you want or leave it plain.Īll that’s left is to color your drawing in or you can leave it as is depending on what you plan to use it for.

You can then draw lines to indicate the hairs.įor the second paint brush drawing, all you need to do is draw two lines in a angle and join it with a curved line. To complete your paint brush drawing, you’ll want to draw two curved lines facing outwards but making the bottom one slightly longer to make the brush look more curved. On the right hand side, draw another rectangle shape and close it off with a curved line for the first brush but for the second brush make it more angled as you draw the lines coming out as done here. Begin by drawing two lines horizontally and then drawing a curved line to join those two lines together on the left side. Since we’ll be drawing two different paint brushes, you’ll want to draw this step two times. To draw a paint brush, all you really need to do is sketch out the handle of the brush, the part that holds the hair and brush together, and then the hair of the brush.

There are lots of different shapes for the brushes that you can draw as well but for this drawing lesson, we’ll stick with learning how to draw a round brush and a straight head brush. It would make an awesome memory of your very first (or current) art supplies and it’s also a fun drawing idea that will only take you a few minutes. So, I thought it would be a good idea to draw my paint supplies to remember how special they are to me and if you’re also fond of painting, I highly suggest you join me by learning how to draw a paint brush so you too can create a beautiful drawing of all your art supplies. This hummingbird was given the most gentle and loving burial.Painting is one of my most favorite pass time activities that I’ve recently discovered and never knew I’d enjoy so much. I gently set the hummingbird in the earth, placed flowers from this garden where it lived next to it and said a blessing of gratitude and love to lay it to rest. I had just started listening to Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem in d minor and decided to play it on my phone while I dug a hole by the roses and irises in the yard. I used gloves and paper towels and gently carried it to the garden. It was in the exact place I found it the day before and still so peaceful and beautiful. I went down to see if it was still there (and to convince myself it was not all a dream). The next morning when I awoke, it’s like I knew exactly what to do. The bird she found and thought was dead came back to life when hit with a gust of wind so I am glad I let it sit overnight before trying to bury it!

As a side note, I later learned from a friend who had a similar experience, that hummingbirds can go into torpor, a deep sleep-like state, which can make them appear to be dead. I sat next to it for awhile and decided to leave it overnight - to sleep on it so I could really know what it was that I needed to do. And I was home alone (my husband was away on a trip) and I really did not know what to do. It was so beautiful and peaceful but it was terrifying to me to see it lying there.

I came home one day and opened the door to the garden and right next to the house I found a dead hummingbird. Some days, I would run into a flower that I knew I wanted to draw, some days I would work on an ongoing theme (like flowers my parents remembered as kids) and some days something would happen and I would react with a drawing - the joy and presence card falls in the last category.

So in a way, each drawing is an artifact of what was happening in life on a specific day in a continuum of 100 days. The Joy & Presence card is one of the cards in the deck that has an edgier story behind it, and it's the only one that has an animal in it.Įvery day, I had to find something new to draw.
