Rested, Renewed and Home from my retreat. Had lots of time during class to sketch as the lecture portion got a little long and tedious at times. My sketches all happened among taking notes. Very middle school, but this time no one said anything.  If anything, it kept me in the moment and aware of all material presented. I just got to keep hands busy and wow, it felt so good.

On the Other Coast...(Hot,Hot,Hot)

Warm, well HOT weather sketches. Not getting much detail on these due to the fact that I made them at the Whirlin'Waters Water Park. Where not only does no one stand still, I feel a little uncomfortable staring at people in their bathing suits for to long.

A great place to see lots of bodies, not to mention lots of moles, tattoos and movement!

(but, my sketch pad is a little wrinkly now due to water/moisture damage :)

Sketches 2, 3 & 4 (Tues and Wed)

Getting faster and more proficient, not to mention a little more confident each day. Yesterday I was grieving and feeling sad ( see here) but the sketch pad still came out and even served as some therapy.  Today, I was at a friends house and sketched her on the glo doodle ap from my iphone. I actually love this medium and want to experiment more. Easy to sneaky sketch and it's fun not to mention always with me. I forgot to write the place, name and date on sketches so I must remember next time.
