What makes you want to sketch or draw?
yes, drawing something does require closer inspection and we always see something new!
ReplyDeleteI would love to sketch or draw however I do not know how. Your little birdies are wonderful. I really like your 10 reasons too. Keep creating...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your oomments. I'd encourage you to take a class on drawing, sketching or visual journaling. Doodling also helps one to see and play with line.
ReplyDeleteI love your little birds, there is so much expression! I agree with you about drawing, and I admire you for being in a group so you practice it frequently!
ReplyDeleteI tend to go for long stretches when I don't draw or sketch, even though I really enjoy doing it, and learn something everytime I take the time to do it!
Love your birdies! for sure I'll take the drawing class.
ReplyDeleteI have had such a good time browsing your colorful and unique blog...I will definitely be back.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will come and visit me; I'd love to have you.
Hugs and Blessings,
Butterfly

ReplyDeleteThanks for these reminders, Paula. All very good reasons to keep up the habit!
