Summer Sketches

Hi everyone!

I spent a little time sketching this summer. 

I was bound and determined to overcome

my fear of drawing.

 I tried to pick up my sketch book everyday

and sketch something.

 

Little by little I am becoming more comfortable

with pen and pencil.

 My 6 year old granddaughter Avery and I 

are now sketching together when we can.

We take turns drawing in a sketch book

that prompts us to draw certain things,

like a marching band.

 I know, I only got as far as the Drum Major.

What can I say, I chickened out.

So my summer quest, to overcome the fear of

drawing has been a success.

I now have the desire to sketch

and I am enjoying the process.

Drawing - Zentangle, my first attempt

Winky came to class with her new books about Zentangle art.
I had never heard of it but was attracted
to the idea of meditative drawing.
I don't feel that I am an artist but after sketching this owl,
 the fun began.
  I created each section and then chose the
different zentangle patterns as I went along.
