My fingers itch to get sketching!<br /><br />Cris, I've just seen so many artists apologize and feel pressured and their journal becomes one more obligation or something to stress over. It needs, precisely, NOT to be that. For one thing, my journal is a place to shed stress, not add to it.<br /><br />So hooray for you, I bet that sketchbook drawing felt GOOD!Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-12678881944487210822011-07-24T20:52:46.813-05:002011-07-24T20:52:46.813-05:00I'm inspired by nature; flowers, birds, trees,...I'm inspired by nature; flowers, birds, trees, fish, beach finds.

It doesnt. I have that sketching School book too. I get inspired by books and on line blogs like this one.Cris, Artist in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067969984221375853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764822475195816427.post-44236938228952679962011-07-23T20:10:32.439-05:002011-07-23T20:10:32.439-05:00Sure, either one works, Marta!

Visiting art galleries or a store with decor I admire can be wonderful, especially if I have a sketchbook handy -- or even my camera. I also love to share art ideas with friends, whether learning or teaching.terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.com
