On my desk today...

Today, I'm working on my watercolor sketchbook.

I recently took a trip to Williamsburg, VA & was totally inspired to start this!

Most sketchbook artists travel with their supplies & work on site,

but when you travel with children, it's not that easy.

I decided to take as many pictures as I possibly could, & sort through them later.

I chose the top 10 pictures that told the story of my trip & began sketching the images in my book. Once the sketches are complete, I add watercolor & pen lines to make them pop.

 I LOVE how it's coming along so far & will post pics as soon as it's complete!

Rainy Days & ZENTANGLE

 

                    MY ZENTANGLE OWL           ZENTANGLE BOOK

 

Many of you have probably heard of Zentangle before, but

if not, welcome to a whole new way of doodling!

This form of drawing is more involved than your average

scribbling, but loads of fun & great for rainy days!

There are lots of books on the market (including the one above),

but even more exciting...TONS of free patterns & websites

dedicated to educating the public on this art form!

Fellow blogger, Soshi, has lots of great patterns to share

on her site & beautiful work displayed as well!

If you would like more info, send me a message &

we can swap patterns :o)
