Everyday Sketching

I’m really starting to find my new normal and establishing some routines. In some ways it’s hard to believe that I’ve been staying at home for over a month now… but on the other hand my last social outing (Friday of oneweek100people) seems like an age ago.

Everyday Sketching

I’m finding that since I’ve been staying home, I’ve had less time to sketch and that’s mainly a result of an increased workload. So what have I been doing?

Teacup Sketching

This week we finished up a Group Run-through of my SketchingNow Buildings course which has been going since January. It’s been an incredible experience for me to revisit all of my special techniques for sketching buildings and to do a heap of new demos (many hours worth!) to share with the group. In addition I...
