Life's Little Mysteries, Part 2
I had two more short videos in the pipeline, both that had to be cut from my Sketchbook Skool class for reasons of length...this one agreed to be processed and uploaded, the other one didn't. NO idea why! Ah well, I like this one best anyway...
This is my old cabin book--I built my own cabin in the woods with the help of a young carpenter back in the late 80s or early 90s, and worked out there almost every day. (In those days I had a computer out there and even a phone, neither of which is true today!)
And every day, I would do a sketch in my big brown-paper journal. It's a time capsule, looking back through the pages and seeing the everyday miracles that caught my eye.
I got to write a book about the process, too...A Naturalist's Cabin; Constructing a Dream, long out of print, of course.
Yep, life is good...

Life's little mysteries...another video!
I have no idea why, but this little video was hiding, marked Private in my YouTube set...I appear to have dropped the ball somewhere. I originally made it for one of my Quick Sketching classes, but didn't get the link OUT there! It was from March of 2013...I spaced...
Since I made it to be shared, here it is...test drive your tools so you know what they'll do and which one to grab to get the effect you want!

And a longer video, a study of a wren, in my journal
Whew! My newest video is up on YouTube, and it almost didn't make it! It disappeared, then the media files were missing...but here it is, a longer video on doing a study of a bird, in my journal.

Another little video...this one on sketching birds!
As usual, I overproduced for my class, so I've made several new videos I'll be sharing on YouTube! This one was cut from a longer one on sketching from nature.
I'll be editing one on doing a more complete study of a wren, soon!
