    I was sketching everyday. A 10 minute art exercise that always lasted longer. LOL When my mom became sick and then passed I didn't have time for any art including sketching. Now that you have brought this to my attention I will start again. In fact today.
    Have a lovely day

      Hello Morag, nice to have you visit! I hope all is well. Sketching keeps me humble. I find it a challenge.

    Wow, you really know how to sketch facial features well! I sketch but usually they are phone doodles.

      Hello Faye, I count doodles as sketching. I need to add it to my daily practice. I find it so freeing.

    great sketches Irene! I do try to practice on a somewhat regular basis -just to improve. But you know, most days I just want to paint layers of colors:)

      Hello Linda, I so understand wanting to paint paint paint. It takes some discipline for me to sketch regularly. I think if I didn't look at the sketches with such a critical eye it it would be an easier process.

    Irene, i loved these sketches & the beautiful photos you shared at the end too. Your yellow illustration is gorgeous! Yes, we all fall out of the habit of sketching sometimes, don't we. I try to do something 'artful' every day, and sometimes, this means making a nice meal. Sometimes, keeping a sketchbook by my chair in the living room helps me pick it up more often. Hope you enjoyed the workshop. xx
