Drawing... Texture

I took drawing classes a few years ago. One of the exercises the instructor had us do was sketch textures of various objects... It was fun! For a while I practiced, but I haven't done it in years.

Seeing these framed black and white close-ups recently made me realize how attractive pencil sketches of different textures could be, framed and hung in a group.

These rocks, for example...

These wooden ceiling beams (and shadows) I photographed in Fort Henry...

Rocks on the beach...

Even old Quebec City's cobblestone streets could all be interesting to draw!

A fun winter project, perhaps?!
