Sketchbook Revival so far

We are one week into Skechbook Revival and it has been rather interesting. Well, not eveything is my cup of tea, but that's ok.

Also, there are some elements that are not so easy for the left-brained me. On the first day we did a guided meditation where we should find out about our art related intentions by visiting our creative self. I wasn't able to visualise much. But then I think that I know what my intentions are anyway; after all, as an introvert, I do lots of self-reflection. And being creative by drawing is certainly a way for me to try to not be so left-brained. I like to do realistic drawings, but I would like to give myself more artistic freedom, allowing myself to simplify and to adjust things to my liking.

There are also some intuitive exercises that I don't know what to think about, yet. But I intend to try them out.

The workshop also provides some nice tips here and there, like ways to bind your own sketchbooks. The topics are varied and should include something for everybody. I'm looking forward to next week.

Sketchbook Revival

There's hope that some new inspiration will come my way soon, in the form of a free online workshop called Sketchbook Revival. It starts on 23 April and is about how to use and maintain a sketchbook. Different artists will show what they do with their sketchbooks, how they use them, what they use to work in them etc. All kinds of materials and techniques will be used.

Until May 4 two videos will be made available each day and they all will be available until May 18 only. You'll get an email each day with the links. There's also a Facebook group for participants. So now is the time to get out your sketchbooks and art supplies.
