During Tuesday’s outing, I did some right-hand sketching – it was a lot of fun and I found it quite comfortable, even though I don’t have the same amount of control. I did this for an entire week(or was it a fortnight) last June (see here and here and here and here with a photo!). I was surprised how easily I fell back into the groove of doing things reverse.
This was a watercolour demo working quite slow. I accidentally drew the rim of the cup in ink with my left hand but all the rest with my right. I think working slower really helps the control!
Afternoon tea – not able to work slow at all- limited time till my ferry left and a lovely interruption about tearooms in Newcastle UK with the lovely couple at the table next to me! That teapot which I rushed is wonky wonky wonky!
This sketch done on Monday evening records a significant event… wondering if you can decipher it…it is a little cryptic. Nothing too drastic… and all is good now!

Sewing bees, burgers, left handed drawings, bridges…the excitement and beauty never ends here, Liz! Can't believe how well you do using the opposite hand. And now you've made me crave a burger and it is only 4:35 a.m.!
Your right hand drawings done by a leftie are so good! I'd be hard pressed for this righty to paint/draw with my left…I can barely write legibly with my left,let alone draw!
It seems you have some sort of apparatus on your hand/wrist….is this a sprain or repetative motion issue? Hope all's well, but seems that's what prompted you to draw/paint with your non dominant hand? Do I win a prize for guessing rightly? HA
