Drawing by Lauren Jarrett and Lisa Lenard- P9: As a professional artist I am often asked: When did I begin to draw? Or in other words, how long have I been drawing. I have tried to answer this question, but the truth is that I’m not exactly sure. I do know that I have drawn as long as I can remember. Most children enjoy drawing as one of their games. I guess I just never stopped. | Chapter 25 Express Yourself Whether it s storage matting or framing here s some of the best information you ll find for taking care of your drawings after the drawing s over. On Storage You ve spent a lot of time on your work so treat it right when you re finished too. Portfolios keep your work safe clean and flat as it should be. Paper storage drawers are expensive and take up space but they re well worth it if you ve got the money and the room. The important thing is to store your work somewhere where it will be kept in its natural state flat. In addition you ll want to keep it away from damaging sun rays and even more damaging water so next to the garage window or in the basement next to the sump pump are probably not the best places. Try Your Hand Start with a light color for your planning lines. Lavender works very well because it blends into almost any color and it can become a shadow if the lines are outside your objects as you define them more closely. Matting and Framing Less is more. Simple is as simple does. White is right. Art or its mat should not be expected to match the couch. In other words forget the fuschia or lime green mats to match the flowers on the rug. Your work will look best in a simple white or off-white mat and a simple wood frame that can be more or less the color of the other woods where you plan to hang it. The important thing is that the choices help the drawing it will find its place on the wall.
