A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!

Sketching has always been one of my great passions, but of late I've been neglecting it in favour of doing mostly watercolours. I've decided to go back to basics and sketch a lot more. Sketching forces you to look in more detail, and ask yourself what you actually see. You’ll end up seeing a lot more than you would otherwise. There’s something about holding a pen or pencil in your hand that gets your creative juices flowing in a much different way than holding a brush. When you get used to sketching, the movements of your hand become much more fluid and it becomes really easy and natural. The more you practice, the better you will become at sketching.
Maree, This is such a lovely image, economical in line and colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Marie! That's the fun of sketching, you can keep it simple or doodle for hours!
