Today's zui

Our third Zui for the week.  We watched some videos while working.  We had another drawing session which was awesome.  We're all at different levels and Kawiti is happy for us to work at the level we feel comfortable.  The video tutorials are my best friend.  I enjoy the fact that I can pause, rewind, go over and over the drawing as often as needed.  Here's todays drawings:

I also spent some time carving my koauau and burnishing my hue puruhau.

Our mahi kainga is to look at some videos of whakairo artists (look at their practise and their creative process) and continue practising our drawing skills.  It would be a good idea to start thinking about my rangahau and finding two artists to compare.  A couple of books to look for are Otawhao (Pakariki Harrison) and Tohunga Whakairo: Paki Harrison by Ranginui Walker.
