Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Figure Drawing and evolving bean soup


 Here is my piece for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  It is a figure drawing mannequin, an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").


And my bean soup keeps evolving.  This time I used black beans and a can of corn along with leftover meat and gravy from a pork sirloin roast I had done.  So I didn't add any extra stock, just 3 extra cups of water.

I really LOVE your mannequin drawing. Sounds like your bean soup takes on whatever leftovers are available. I think that is the best kind of soup!

So cool! Wonderful drawing! Great about the bean soup. Such great ingenuity. I should do something like that. Maybe when it cooler. As of late, we aren't in such a heat wave.

Nice figure drawing, and the best thing about bean soups is they can evolve and never be the same soup twice! hugs-Erika

The very definition of a good soup is that it keeps getting better!

You got your proportions perfectly when drawing the model that is there to show you proportion :) Clever, clever girl ... and I love bean soup and yours looks (and if I were there I would know it smells) delicious. As much as I love been soup, I need to heed what my days plans are before I eat it ... :0

Your homemade soup looks delicious, Christine. I rarely make soup the same way twice. Often I'm using up bits of this and that in the fridge. I like your choice of word: evolving. Great job on the manikin. Have a good weekend!

I always enjoyed looking at those figures in art shops. This looks an exact copy of them. Thanks for another great recipe too.

This reminds me of the Portuguese Bean Soup that is popular in Hawaii.

Coincidentally, a few days back I was cleaning out a drawer and found my little wooden figure like that. I have it sitting on my dresser now and change its' pose every time I walk by. Nice art.
