March has been another quite month for sketching. There have been a lot of distractions. Work has been hectic and when I’ve had a few spare minutes, it is easier to pick up a doodle for exercise 1 of Keys to Drawing with Imagination than to start a sketch. I’ve also been doing some painting.

The sketch at the top of the post is my favourite from the month. The other two sketches are based on practices from Mindfulness & the Art of Drawing by Wendy Ann Greenhalgh.

I am planning to get back into sketching during April by restarting Liz Steele's SketchingNow Edges course (see SketchingNow Edges for my previous experience with the course).
