Lisa's Art & Musings: Pencil vs. Pen Sketching
http://lisasartmusings.blogspot.com/2015/06/pencil-vs-pen-sketching.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Pencil vs. Pen Sketching. This past weekend was another outing of the Urban Sketchers. Three of us met at Kathryn Albertson park. Usually when I do sketching, I use a mechanical pencil. The only thing I don't like about it is that it does smear (I use a 2B lead). I know lots of people use pens for sketching. I like to be able to erase and am not that confident with using a pen. But I decided to give it a go this time, because I will never get confident if I don't do it. In addit...

Lisa's Art & Musings: Urban Sketchers
http://lisasartmusings.blogspot.com/2015/06/urban-sketchers.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. The local Urban Sketchers had a special session this past Saturday. I haven't been able to join them for a while. And even though we have visitors, I went to draw with them at a private residence here in town. Melissa Frazier was kind enough to let us roam and sketch in her beautiful yard and gardens, where she also had goats, chickens and a dog wandering around. The weather was perfect in the morning and, despite being located in the city, it felt like being in the country.

http://lisasartmusings.blogspot.com/2015/06/shibori-by-machine.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2015. When I was writing about the SAQA conference, I briefly mentioned that I took a workshop with Ana Lisa Hedstrom. It was how to do Shibori. Japanese tie-dyeing technique) using machine stitching. Since we had only a couple of hours, it was a quick introduction, which was enough to make me want to explore it more. Here are some of the examples that Ana Lisa had out on a table for us to look at. I really liked these pieces where she started with a black fabric and discharged them.
