Last year I got me a leather Traveler's Notebook. A fun leather cover with calendars and notebooks to tuck inside a fun binding system.
Along with my calendar, I had a handy sketchbook nearby at all times. I made myself a small, tool wrap and kept it all nearby so I could sketch when the desire arose.
Quick sketches added with just a touch of watercolor.
Value sketches with simple pencil hatching. These country prairie scenes are some of my favorites.
Found objects from the garden and yard, a little fun lettering. A new orange Lamy pen.
Blue ink sketch with non-waterproof ink. Just add water to the outlines for instant shading.
Pen and ink sketch from a Pinterest photo.
Another fun way to add daily art to my life. Remember, practice is art.
Today I'm setting up a still life of my first oil painting. It's a new journey for me and I'm excited and intimidated at the same time. And just like that I have my One Little Word for the year.....journey.
