Last year I did Mary Jo McGraw's Secret Blog "class" online and this June she's started the second one. This time around focusing more on drawing/sketching. For the money you can't beat a whole year of inspiration and lessons. I'm not good at drawing, but thought this class might stretch my creative muscles a bit and give me some new ways to work in art journals. I am hoping to improve a whole lot over the next 12 months, but don't expect to be an expert at all.
I'm working in a little Faber-Castell travel journal, the pages are fairly light weight but have some good tooth to them, so the pencil grabs easily. I got a small set of their pencils the other day, but probably will want to add a few more graphite ones to the mix. I find it relaxing, especially since there is not pressure. This little book is just for me to practice in.
Check out Mary Jo here. You can still sign-up for either one of her secret blogs. She also does a lot of classes in the Spokane area, but travels too!
BTW - you can see from the pages above I am a total novice to this drawing, hoping some of the talent my Mom has will funnel down to me!
