My assignment was to draw something on a table in public, using two different types of materials. One in pen only, with spot color, and the other in watercolor pencil.

Foundations (4th Run)
Happy New Year! I am so very excited about Foundations this year.

Wrapping up Buildings, Looking forward to Foundations
Buildings was great for me this year. I didn’t quite manage to finish. Again. But I got farther than I have in previous years, and had a number of breakthroughs.

Sketch Kit and Color Blocks
Things are moving a bit slow around here this past week. I’m back to a tighter lockdown situation as COVID-19 cases are on the rise and I’m in an “extreme high risk” area. I have lots of unfinished pages but a few finished ones. Some random sketches and collage, little bits and pieces from my… Continue reading Sketch Kit and Color Blocks
Sketchbook Design is back
Sketchbook Design class by Liz Steel is back and I’m so excited! I find it so much easier to actually get my sketching into a habit and routine when I know or can build on the fly better sketchbook pages! My first two intro lessons for the week, and a little collage since I’m currently… Continue reading Sketchbook Design is back
