The young apprentice

The budding artist, Edda, watching her uncle paint with pen and ink.

All of the drawings I complete will be posted on The Sketchbook Project's website.

J'aime toute l'attention qu'a dans son regard votre jeune apprentie... je suppose que le maître était très largement à la hauteur de son attente...
Bises,

This little girl in a chequered jumper, definitely seems to me to be quite ardently admiring her fathers work, she could be quite shy too, its a good sketch.

I am so touched that you sketched this scene. My uncle was my hero, my idol and someone I wanted to be like from a very young age. I feel that you captured that in you sketch.
My uncle was a well known artist, a wonderful draftsman (pen/ink, graphite, chalk) and a painter, mostly oil. He died a year ago at the age of 89. His name was Kjartan Gudjonsson and he was like a father to me.
Thanks again Ann

Oh Edda- I am thrilled that you like it. The minute I saw that photo I knew I had to include it in my sketchbook. Your uncle's art is so impressive-I can see why you were so in awe of him.
