Fun with Travel Journal Workshop

 Summer workshops are now posted. I'm so excited to be sharing how they can use the fun of drawing and sketching to record travels and summer days in a journal. Using snippets of  brochures and fun finds to add to the pages. Gathering my samples and supplies has given me another excuse to shop in art stores-not that I needed one. Go to my Workshop and Classes page to sign up.

A few samples from my pages. Stop by Susan Walker Art Sketchbook Pages if you would like to see my or what I am up to these days.

Here is a page I used gel pens for the background, laid over the tickets and sketched 'Carrot Top'

EDM#236 sketch the palm of your hand

Who's old hand is this? Wow, I could of gotten lost in details of the creases and wrinkles for endless hours. I haven't worked in pencil in some time. It was fun and yet challenging to give it a go again. Won't wait so long next time.

After working on this I remembered the magazine "Drawing, Summer 2009" put out by "American Artist", has an article "The Structure and Surface Forms of the Hand" by Valerie L.Windslow. It breaks down the structure and muscles in a very basic summary.
