Faking Artistic Talent

You'll be glad to know that the

procrastination is over &

I started work on "the chair".

(By the way, it took a long time just

to remove all the staples & nailhead trim!)

So, I'll blog about it when it's finished.

But for now,

I wanted to talk about one

way to "fake it".

(Hopefully my blog friend & artist

"Terri" isn't reading this post!)

I must have been in another line

when drawing talent was being

passed out!

(So, when I need to create something like this I find ways

to get around it.)

I saw this ad in a magazine &

wanted to make something like it for

the store where I work . . .

Inspiration drawing--SO cute!

I took some photos of our store 

& enlarged them . . .

 

  Then I taped the photo to a

window & traced over the major lines
onto a piece of paper.

I filled in with a few changes--

for instance, I changed the large light so that it 

didn't cover the sign & a few other things.

Can you spot the other differences?

Some of the lines aren't perfect,

but I kinda like it that way.

Maybe you would want to try

something similar with your

house or favorite building?

(If you do, feel free to "romanticize" the
real thing.)
