Daily Drawing

I continue to set aside 15 minutes to an hour most evenings to draw in my sketchbook.  The time is well-spent, relaxing me before I go to bed as well as keeping my eye-hand coordination sharp and tuned up for studio work.
I am using a small (5x7) Moleskine book with rather thin paper, suitable only for dry media, which is fine for my purposes.  These drawings are completely unplanned, evolving in response to the lines themselves.

Some times I do not finish a drawing in one evening, and continue the next night.  (This one is a thank you to my blog-friend, Els).

The drawings are a way to unwind and reflect on my day.  Some I understand...


and some are just mysteries.  Some have lots of color...

 and some I leave mostly lines


You can have a look at all my drawings in my Flickr account.

  1. Love them all. I suppose my morning collaging is like your evening drawing, a practice that helps me collect myself. xo

  3. Beautiful with mandala- like unfoldings. These just fascinate me. One of them reminds me of a print I did years ago. I ought to share it with you.
    Thanks so much for your visit to my blog and for your kind words.

  7. Such fluid, beautiful lines.

    Sketching is so much less stressful than working on exhibition pieces - good luck with yours!

    Cheers,

    Cindy
