An Artist is a Sketchbook


I hate to waste time! Whenever I know I'll be waiting, I try to be prepared to draw.  Watching the clock makes me anxious. When I'm in "right brain mode" I feel relaxed and time quickly melts away. On my recent art adventures to New York City, I knew there would be time to pass while en route and while waiting in the train station. I packed a couple of greeting cards as reference material and a little notebook and was good to go! These little hummingbirds kept me company and helped make the journey more fun and relaxed.

An artist is a sketchbook
with a person attached."

I've been thinking a lot about SHAPES lately this month, ever since I started up Drawing Everyday again. When I saw that hummingbird hanging there today, I knew I had to just have my way with it. What fun! If you are thinking that you'd like to try a real easy one, give copying this a shot! AND think S H A P E S . . .
