  1. 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

    1. 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.

  10. 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
