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 Four
(Click for Enlargement) I didn’t do any homework today, I just thought I’d play around with my pen and sketch something fun. I had seen many an artist sketch up their music so I thought I’d get it out and put it down in my moleskine. I was actually really lucky to get my green…
AEDM: Day Three
I did this painting of a ceramic piece of art we own that was created by my aunt, Katherine McLean. She’s a fantastic and busy artist, she lives in Vancouver. I hope to some day be as good and as popular as she is. I find all her work so inspiring. I’m thrilled at how…
AEDM Day Two
So far, so good! Second day of AEDM (Art EveryDay Month at Leah’s blog, Creative Everyday). I’ve find myself so inspired by our latest teacher in SBS, Brenda Swenson. I’m really actually loving the process of “Seeing” what’s in front of me and putting pen to paper and doing a quick contour drawing. My enjoyment of…
Art Everyday Month Starts
Once again I’m participating in AEDM. I did this challenge last year and loved how it focused me on art and the idea of recording my life in a regular way. As you know I’m also doing Sketchbook Skool so I’ll be combining both these endeavors and doing both homework and art everyday. Sometimes the pieces…
GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First page in my Cahier(Click to Enlarge) More like SEVEN goals, actually. But more about that later. So I’m documenting my life for Danny Gregory’s class. In the beginning it’s weird to put such mundane things into a sketchbook. But then I realize that first: that’s the point, to document your life, and second: I’m…
