May, June, and July had very little sketching. This was an attempt to paint water and trees. Oh did it fail hard! Collage page with wine labels. More collage and some pen sketches. I do love the TWSBI pens!

POV Sketch, Bougainvillea, and more
April, not much sketching happened, but some… My second clutter sketch, and my first sketch using the POV method. Inspired by Stephen Reddy and Paul Heston for this one. I did sketch over a photograph on my iPad in Procreate in order to teach myself what kind of lines and drawing is needed to achieve… Continue reading POV Sketch, Bougainvillea, and more
Time Team & Montezuma’s Castle
Foundations lessons, and inspiration from Time Team! I fell in love with those medieval maps! Need to find a way to learn how to do that! I copied this one from the screen! I was too overwhelmed to sketch Montezuma’s Castle while on location, so sketched this from a photograph. Clearly I need more practice,… Continue reading Time Team & Montezuma’s Castle
March 2021 – Weeks 11 & 12
A collection of random items on my pages, without much organization. Wardrobe as the seasons begin to change, deliveries, and art supplies. Yep, that pretty much captures March!

I must note, I am challenged to finish because… Continue reading Foundations Begins

I’ve never done anything like it, and had no idea if I even could! While I decided that nearly… Continue reading Week 10, March 2021
February Pages
New supplies, and mysteries, a lot of color testing Potter’s Pink, and seeking out those lavenders, February brought a mix of sketches. This is the page that launched the lavender search. I was trying to color match the post card, and didn’t quite get the results I wanted. I do love to sketch art supplies!… Continue reading February Pages
January’s Sketch Pages
Have not done nearly what I hoped to do for the sketching, or anything else. Pandemic and lockdown continues to interfere with my ability to sketch. However, I did make a few pages, and I’m loving how what I’ve learned in Sketchbook Design is really making my pages look so much better! I’m working with… Continue reading January’s Sketch Pages
