I wanted to start a journal so I am going to do some much needed journal sketching to go outside of my box for 2012 and see what happens. I have a small and large sketch book with black and white paper.
They will probably end up a mix up of sketches, words, ideas, etc. but that is OK.... I can justify the time being that it will be a great help to me as I paint, design jewelry, altered art etc. Just good ole
Art Journals.
On Yahoo I have joined a group recommended by a friend where sketching prompts are provided. This is my first which was "My Watch", and I was really surprised that it wasn't as horrible as I had expected; which makes me more willing to try the next prompt which is a kitchen jar, tin, or bottle.
The scariest part was that first mark on the white paper....and the more I worked at it the more engrossed I became. I know I DO need an kneadable eraser which is on my list for the next Michaels visit.
So surprise yourself. Draw your watch.

fabulous job Di.....you'll do well with EM, it will challenge you....they say a sketch a day helps train the eye to really see as opposed to what we think we see. Looking forward to keeping updated with you.
