My Sketchbook Day 1 |
I learned about the Sketchbook project from my Creative Coconut friend, Bel Fireman. She just had the opportunity to visit the home of the collection of completed sketchbooks from last year at the Brooklyn Art Library. Take a hop over to her last blog post The Real-Life Sketchbook Project to read about her visit. She created an amazing sketchbook for last years project. You can take a look at the digital version of her sketchbook here. Bel was also my featured artist last year if you'd like to read more about her incredible artwork, check out the post here.
If you'd like to sign up to be a part of the Sketchbook project, visit their website at the Art House Coop to sign up. Then I won't be the only one staring at a blank sketchbook, we can stare together!
I think I need to remember this quote of Madi's when I sit down to draw today. I will be sharing my sketchbook journey with you along the way. So stay tuned for a new Page 1!

I don't know...I kinda like a new sketchbook. BOO!
Thanks again, Stacie, for the links to my work! I totally know what it is like to face that blank page and be afraid of screwing it up. I am a recovering perfectionist, after all!
The best thing to do is to just start. Start with what you know. If you are scared, then that is perfect. Draw scared, journal scared, paint scared. What does scared feel like in your body and how will that look as an image? What color is scared?
Try not to think about it too much. Just do it! xo
Thanks so much Bel! Just the kind of advice I was looking for. Jumped in today. I'll post soon!
