Sketchbook Magic I: Start and Feed a Daily Art Practice

I really love all the "icons" you've come up during the course of the class, Melissa. I especially like the faces! :D

For this last piece, I decided to use watercolor pencils and create some jelly fish. I did some jelly fish for a different class with a very colorful background with regular watercolors. So, I decided to do this one slightly different. I really enjoyed the class and loved being able to post the different things that I have done as well as to be able to look at what others have done. Thank you for sharing this class and providing encouragement.

I was in my dining room creating my faces. I'm not good at real faces, so I thought I'd do my type of emoji faces. I had fun doing it as always. I was in a good mood after doing this piece of homework.

It was tough doing a two-minute drawing of something that was right in front of me. It was a little challenging to try to create something in such a short amount of time, but I feel that the more I practice at that, the more I start trusting what I am seeing, the better I will become. So, there are going to be more two minute drawings in the future.

Gratitude is the little paper that I randomly chose. I also chose a paint brush that didn't have a pointy tip on it, so it was a challenge to create fine lines. It was fun and relaxing. The pictures look simple, but with the type of brush I was using, it was definitely a challenge. This is something that I will be doing if I have a hard time getting going with my art. It is inspiring.

I closed my eyes and picked out a mechanical pencil. I had a picture of a rose, so I just drew the outside petals and leaves.
