One of the first pages of my current journal, a Moleskine sketchbook, the first one I've ever filled completely. Tentative lines. Not much in the way of "design." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797dcddbe6594ae20163a72/1509552002381-SI1UTGIFMHO25PDZHXAL/9%3A17%3A17+mt+willard+overlook.JPG Hiking Journal - Doing the Hard Work, Seeing Results From 9/17/17. I'm applying some of what I learned about value sketching in a Craftsy class called "Better Paintings with Watercolor Sketching" with Angela Fehr. Link below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797dcddbe6594ae20163a72/1509552121280-QF3XPNWHFOJ5CJ8C994N/9%3A20%3A17+speed+queen.JPG Hiking Journal - Doing the Hard Work, Seeing Results From 9/20/17. A little bolder, but I can tell I haven't started daily sketching, yet. This shows me I have a taste for finding quirky things to draw. Which reminds me how my writing voice often tends toward the quirky, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797dcddbe6594ae20163a72/1509552286463-VWFUF4D52C6L66O3VK5L/10%3A23%3A17+vans.JPG Hiking Journal - Doing the Hard Work, Seeing Results From 9/23/17, the day I committed to daily sketching. I've been sketching more, though not daily at this point. The lines are bolder. I like the wonkiness (again with the quirk). I remember resisting drawing this because I didn't know where to start and it seemed like it might be complicated with the shoe strings and all. I feel that resistance EVERY TIME I sit down to draw something. What is that? (I feel a blog post coming on!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797dcddbe6594ae20163a72/1509552572466-Z7KAMF13DEG01EGWP6ZW/image-asset.jpeg Hiking Journal - Doing the Hard Work, Seeing Results From 10/30/17. Ahhh...now we're getting somewhere. I'm practicing some of what I've learned in several different classes--the watercolor technique for the sky; creating rock textures; designing a page. I drew this from a photo I took during my Appalachian Trail hike. I still hesitate to go outside and draw from real life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5797dcddbe6594ae20163a72/1509552764001-QCYZOSSHIVRAKOXB9797/10%3A31%3A17+front+yard.JPG Hiking Journal - Doing the Hard Work, Seeing Results From 10/31/17. I had a dream where I was painting and taking liberties with the line, the ink undercoat and the watercolor. So I did that here. I refused to color within the lines. I love these sketches, especially the hydrangea, for all the random, loose style can suggest. Plus, I went outside and drew from life, not photos.
