Sketchbook Revival 2025 Binge Fest (Part 2)

Sketchbook Revival was different this year.  Instead of having all new lessons, there was access to 5 years of past lessons.  With about 140 lessons to choose from and only 2-3 weeks to have them available, I had to choose. I picked the 14 that I most wanted to do and have done lots of art in the past couple of weeks!
Draw a + then an x, not connect with arcs... It's a flower!
Then an asterisk, connect... Another flower!
(Pen, Stabilo all pencil, watercolor pencils - Lesson from Melinda Barlow)
Draw a bunch of big circles... Fill each intersecting shape... Doodle
It should be a mess, but it's something I want to look at again and again.
(Book page, scrapbook paper, gelli-print paper, paint, marker - Lesson from Mary Beth Shaw)
If not "embracing" watercolor, at least I'm trying not to be afraid to try again.
(Watercolor, pen - Lesson from
Shari Blaukopf)
I've never been one who doodles constantly, but how fun it can be.
(Paint Pens, colored pencil - Lesson from
Jessica Swift)
Using "real" watercolor paper does make a difference.
Either way... watercolor requires an artist with different personality than I have.
(Watercolor - Lesson from Susan Chiang)
Just two colors, use your finger... start with the nose...
a line here... to curves there... and oval... and it's a face
Melanie has such a calm patient demeanor that gently guides you.

Melanie Rivers)

It's always a pleasure to paint alongside Tam
