A Sketching Workshop and Some Clippings

First, my updated goal calendar...  Not so much artsy stuff.  I'll have to make it in my bigger journal next month...


It will feel great when it's all filled up!!!  That said, I purposefully took this weekend off to let my legs rest a little.  I was going to wait until Thursday night to ride again, but then the Bikin' Bettie's seem to have a fun ride planned for tomorrow night.  And I have bike club.  ...  We'll see what happens.  (I'll have to take Thursday night off from riding if I make it out with the Betties tomorrow.)

So - mini-goal:  Check out at least one online workout this week!  I've been meaning to do that for a while, and I've had a couple of opportunities, but have still put it off.  


I took a Travel Sketchbook workshop this Saturday, 2 hours at Jerry's.  I took some notes, and she had us do a couple of activities: blind contour sketching (my red pepper) and a label.  She talked to us about design elements of a page and how she plans for it, how she adds stuff in to make it look like a neato page...  It was pretty cool.  As much as I know about desktop publishing, I'd have thought that I could do an artsy-fartsy journal page, but it's two totally different things...  You can't clip and maneuver stuff on a page in your sketchbook like you can with stuff on a computer.  She should really write a book.  She could have a chapter for each element you add to the page.  I tried to take notes on my page:  the drawing, the title, repeated doodles, colors, writing... and there was more, but that's all I got on my page.  





And now for clippings and pages from my school sketchbook...
