DRAWN TEXTURES

 This morning was a zoom class with Paul and Suhita's Sketching PlayLab.  It was about drawing different textures.

SKETCHING PLAYLAB LINES

 Another clinic of Dancing with Lines.  We had lots of fun.  Lots of play.

FREE THE LINE

 This morning was another Sketching PlayLab.  I just love them!

Today was about making lines and how they affect us and the composition.

65

 When I was young I never thought about actually getting to be 65.  But, here it is, such as it is.  

Happy Birthday to me!  Life is good.

I started the day out attending a zoom Sketching PlayLab workshop with Paul and Suhita.  They provided a reference photo.  We did a lot of thumbnails and then sketched it.

I really enjoyed it.

Then when I went grocery shopping I got a piece of GF birthday cake, Chocolate Pistachio, and I sketched it, along with my free birthday coffee from Starbucks.  

I'll have some of it after dinner tonight.

SK PLAYLAB 8

 This is a repeat of a previous Sketching PlayLab - one that I hadn't attended.  It was about not putting your sketches in a 'box' format - leaving them with indeterminant edges.  I love this idea, and I think I use it, but I found at the end my sketch was still rectangular!

Painting water, especially waves, is particularly difficult for me.

SKETCHING PLAYLAB PARTY

 Today marks the one year anniversary of Suhita and Paul's Sketching PlayLab.  They had a party.  We sketched things you'd find at a party - balloons, party hat, cake, flowers, a tea pot and an alien pet.  

I wasn't really happy with my sketches, but when I cut them up and pasted them to the page I like them a lot better.

SKETCHING PLAYLAB

 I've been trying to get a spot in the Sketching Playlab sessions each month.  This is my second time participating.

This one was about 'Texture'.  Very fun.

SKETCHING PLAYLAB

 I finally got to join in the Sketching PlayLab live online at 7am.  Great fun!  I'm going to try to do these every month.
