Sketching Around: January 2012

http://jmeetzestudio.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Sunday, January 1, 2012. Links to this post. Received a new iPad for Christmas and the first app I added was Brushes. This is my first painting done on iPad Brushes. It is so much fun! In fact the whole iPad makes me feel like a little kid with a box full of new toys and I just can't decide what to play next.

Sketching Around: February 2014

http://jmeetzestudio.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Saturday, February 15, 2014. Catching up with the sketching today. This is the last sketch in the old Moleskine journal. I like the new Stillman and Birn but I miss things about the Moleskine. The search for perfection is elusive! We has just had another ice storm on top of the snow and this is the scene from my front door. Cold! Fountain pen and watercolor. A soft little sketch of Purrlie cat in colored pencil. Lately I have been m...

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Friday, May 9, 2014. More Sketchbook Skool and Urban Sketching. The second assignment that week was to do a slow layered colored pencil drawing. Here is my sketch. I always think Pears look like people and that Golden Pear does remind me of a reclining figure! Our next assignment from Prashant was to paint the sky at different times of the day for the week. Fountain pen and watercolor. Then we walked across the street and did some s...

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Out and About With My Sketchbooks. Here is a picture that includes the real paintbox just 3 x 4.5 inches and so nicely made. Here ia a photo where I was preparing the covers. I used a pvc glue (Miracle Muck) and then glued a nice paper on the inside. The two covers were left under weight over night. Here is a photo of the inside cover where I also placed an identification card. A photo of the torn edges,.

Sketching Around: October 2014

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Travel Sketches, Near and Far. I've been here and there this Fall and taking my sketchbook and my camera with me. The latest adventure was a road trip with Mack to North Georgia and the charming town of Dahlonega. The last time we were there was about 40 years ago and we were both college students at the University of Florida. This is the Library and Technology Center at the University of North Georgia wher...

Sketching Around: April 2014

http://jmeetzestudio.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. I have several sketches to share today. I suppose one of the biggest reasons I've been a little more productive lately is because I'm participating in an online sketching course, Sketchbook Skool. Hands On, tapestry cartoon in pencil and ink. The paper is a tinted watercolor sheet which should hold up well as a cartoon. Approximent size is about 14.25 x 12.25 inches. This drawing was done outside with a samp...

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Friday, January 9, 2015. Sketches, Sketchbooks, Sketch Kits and Classes, Oh My! I have been taking an online class with Liz Steel. Here is a sketch in the 5.5 inch square Handbook journal that stays in my purse that shows all the options in the two Multi pens and a few sketches of Purrlie cat. Another sketch done with the purse kit, with blending those few colors in the Multi 8 can go pretty far. A few more recent sketches, the blue...

Sketching Around: March 2015

http://jmeetzestudio.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Friday, March 27, 2015. New Supplies, New Sketches. Just as I was getting my photos together for this post a package arrived from Amazon. Okay, I admit it, I am always on the lookout for art supplies that I didn't know I needed and here is my newest find. I realize that I need to do a lot more experimenting with this tool before I know if it really suits my needs and is indeed "perfect" but here is my first test. The first sketches ...

Wandering through life with a sketchbook in hand. Marina, Sequoyah Park. Saturday, May 9, 2015. Spring Sketching and Travels Far and Near. I have taken several short trips this Spring and have been taking my sketchbooks with me and capturing a few images here and there. This one is from a house just across the street though with a lovely blooming tree in permanent pen and watercolor and is the first sketch in my Stillman and Birn Alpha 6" x 9" sketchbook. Here it is with my handmade sketchbook, 7"x 10", ...
