she held very still, except when she fell asleep

Today Angie came over to spend the day in Lawrence.  Sister and I needed her to be our live model for the final installment of Sketchwars Wednesdays. 

She was a very cooperative subject.  She held very still.   Except for when she fell asleep.  Which led to the slightly different hand position in Mary Ann's sketch below as compared to my sketch above.

Sketchwars Wednesdays was born last year at Art Retreat #1.  No, we have not kept to it religiously and yes we broke all the rules originally discussed at the outset.   Still, it has been a lot of fun and kept me (the non-sketcher) in a semi-regular though still somewhat rusty practice of attempting to draw.  

I love Sister's version of the Klean Kanteen's.  I am going to try and draw them right now.  Just as soon as I fix a cup of tea, eat a sugar cookie, make sure my clothes are ready for work tomorrow, and I wash my face.

Ha! Love your sketch priorities. These are both fantastic and great inspiration for journaling in the New Year.

Wonderful to see both your sketches. You two are just so inspiring! If there was room for me at the art table right now, I would go sketch in my book. But the table is full of small people. Who knew copic markers would make me the gramma of the century??!
