Today I did a deep dive into Pam's Creative Sketchbooking class on Creative Bug. It was like having my own private art retreat with Pam and Mary Ann, except I could pause Pam whenever I wanted too and rewind her to watch again. I sat in the living room drinking coffee and watched all 4 classes and then, sufficiently inspired, I gathered supplies.
Including these acrylics that have not seen the light of day in quite some time. Please forgive the state of my acrylic palette. I gave up long ago trying to clean it between uses.
Next I started on the mesmerizing "task" of cutting some triangle shapes.
After which, I mixed up a drink, cued up the class, got out the sketchbooks and a pen, and followed right along.
This is my favorite kind of class. It's all about the process and just having fun. I am picking up new tips though... things like "color balance on the page" and "expanding my doodle vocabulary".
None of this is finished, although I did decide the butterfly I started some weeks back during facetime sketchtime needed a creative sketchbooking triangle border. I love going back to old pages and adding new elements.
Tomorrow I am headed back for more hi-jinx. I am not sure of anything I am doing except that I am enjoying the heck out of myself and that is what days off were made for.
Looks like yuu're having fun. Keep it up.
Has Mary Ann crashed her new site permanently? Good Grief, I hope not.
