A Sketchbook Peak

It's been a while since I've posted from my sketchbook. We've sketched at Monticello Antiques all winter and are ready to move outdoors. Above, I drew the grape clusters with both dominant and non-dominant hands.
The orchids are from this week's sketch date with a little watercolor play.

The faces were drawn with dominant and non-dominant hands, too. I really like the freer form of the smaller non-dominant hand sketches. There's a lesson here. Getting away from left brain thinking leads to a looser right brain images.

Looks like you have really had a lot of fun sketching in your journal this winter. How interesting to use each hand to see the differences. Happy weekend...

I always love seeing what you are up to in your sketch book. It is interesting to see how different the right hand is from the left.

I love your sketches, Paula, and they always remind me that I should do it more myself!

What a great exercise I am really attracted to pen and ink in a very sketchy style, nice work.
