Sketchbook Challenge

By | | ,

I’m following the Sketchbook Challenge blog, as well as a couple online Strathmore Journaling Workshops.  The theme of January for the Sketchbook Challenge is “Highly Prized”.  What is most prized to you?  To me, I started drawing scenes from around my home, which is the most prized thing in my life.  Just sitting on the couch, petting my dog, watching my baby girl play on the floor is the most enjoyable part of my day.

Sketch of three women and a child dressed in winter clothing, with bare trees, a cat, and a pumpkin in the background. This challenge is captured beautifully in the artist's sketchbook.

Here is Daria (age 14 months) scribbling in my sketchbook.  She LOVES to color!
