I thought I’d tell all of you about the free introductory class from Sketchbook Skool. Anyone who has thought of signing up but has been reluctant can try it out first and get your feet wet, so to speak. This allows all of you who just don’t know what it would be like to take…

My Last Page
I can’t believe I’ve finished my Moleskine sketchbook. It’s a real milestone for me. I had only done about a dozen or so pages in my Watercolor Moleskine in 2012 and 2013. Then I signed up for Sketchbook Skool earlier this year. In doing two courses with them (“Beginnings” and “Seeing”), each course being six…
AEDM Day Thirty
The End. Yes, we reached the final day of November and I survived. As you all know, I also did Sketchbook Skool along with AEDM. It’s been a ferocious, headlong rush toward December and I’m so glad to be taking a break. I’ve started buying all the trimmings for a good Christmas and I plan…
AEDM Day Twenty-Nine
Well, this is the second to last day of AEDM. I’m always thrilled to start November Art Everyday months but then when it’s over, I’m also glad. It’s tiring to do art all the time. I think, eat and sleep art when I do this. I don’t do art quickly. I’m a slow painter and…
AEDM Day Twenty-Eight
Well, Sketchbook Skool is officially over. *Sigh*. It makes me kinda sad, even though doing both Art Everyday Month at the same time I did SBS has been tiring. I’ve decided, in fact, to wait until January 1st to start the seventy-five day challenge a-la Brenda Swenson. I just want Christmas off. I’m looking forward…
AEDM Day Twenty-Seven
Today I finished my homework for the last class of “Seeing” Sketchbook Skool. I’m a little sad to see it finished. I’ll have to wait until January to possibly take another course, they haven’t even announced what the next installment will be. I don’t think I’m going to take “Storytelling” as I’m not any kind…
AEDM Day Twenty-Six
I painted my teacup. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. Doing the detailed pattern study yesterday made me realize just how fiddly teacups are and I knew that the pattern on the actual teacup I’d be drawing was much smaller than the larger version I did yesterday. But, I…
AEDM Day Twenty-Four
I’ve had this piece half done for months now. I had done a background using both watercolors and Montana Acrylic Markers an then penciled in both the binoculars and the smart phone. But then I kinda chickened out. I mean, the pieces are black and I thought getting it all done would be daunting….
AEDM Day Twenty-Three
Tracey Fletcher King is doing a very cool sale of her original art pieces over on her Official Facebook page for her art. She’s selling pieces at really reasonable prices and those prices include shipping too. Here’s the link. Today, I decided to finally draw up my new slippers. My mom and my aunt Mic…
AEDM Day Twenty-Two
I had a really productive day today making art. In fact, I haven’t even started watching the Liz Steel videos in my last class of SBS. My first page that I completed was the page beside my magnets page so I wanted whatever I drew to go with that. I decided to finally draw…
