A preview of my DRAWN LINES booklet for the Sketchbook Project #359.10-4 at the Brooklyn Art Library, digitized so anyone on the vast web can view. Please do so.

From my course, DRAWN LINES. Kathy is a student and these are her first drawings in her hand-made book: types of lines, a simple drawing, and a walk with line. Join Kathy for FREE, and become an editor of sort (a critic) to help me make the course better for others, who later pay for the 15 lessons. The next is textures. Come and have fun!  Pencil and paper is all you need for these simple, short, and successful sketches.

The Sketchbook Project kicked off this new challenge. “Think of it as an endless visual story, connecting people around the globe through a single format.

The Infinite Sketches when combined will be in a physical and digital exhibition of one very long piece of art! EXHIBITION DATE is to announced.

Reflections about Drawn Lines

Read others reflections about their blogs.

So I'm done with 2018 A2Z Blogging Challenge, What a fast, busy, researching, blogging month. Just as the neighbor mows his grass of weeds, the junior high students yell joy at spring, the passer-by's walk and the cars, Bart, and motorcycles race home from work. What busy noises!  And I'm sitting in the sun knowing I reached my goals for the blog challenged --> how-to-draw lines. My cats are patiently sitting in their chairs, and I have a beautiful view of my garden stretching to the busy street. Rubbing my eyes again wondering why the noise on this warmest of warm days, I feel content.

On reflection, the noise is the celebration of new growth, happy teenagers, busy shoppers, and satisfied workers rushing home to enjoy their evening. The chatter and sounds are the joy I am calmly hearing, watching and observing, once again drawing lines from my garden; the artist is the observer. AND, I do have a course and a book I can publish.

Remember, we are creative. You are the artist that uses pencil, pens, chalks, paints, garden to make lines, the detail, the textures, and values. Lines tell us the viewers what you the artist want us to observer, enjoy, and to be inspired. We see a visual story. Lines take us place. Lines go everywhere. Lines are varied, different. Anything can make a line on any surface.


Also, I did the NaNoWriCamp challenge during April.
 

 




 






Here is the sketchbook created during the A2Z April 2018 challenge about Drawing Lines.
