I have more sketchbooks than a reasonable person should own. Most of which are still blank. I've suffered for years with the affliction of "first page jitters". I now move past my debilitating sickness by making the first page of my sketchbook an ode to one of the loves of my life...Coffee.
Here is my new sketchbook with a drawing of my morning coffee:
As it turns out, the weather was absolutely miserable this morning. And I have to admit that I was relieved that I wouldn't be out tramping around in a park somewhere.
But, hearkening back to our virtual sketchcrawls, I did do a bit of sketching today.
As we were expecting might be the case, Oregon's COVID cases are spiking right now and hospitals are full, so we're doing our part to keep our community safe and will not be scheduling a September sketchcrawl. It pains us to skip it when we were all so excited to be gathering in person after the long hiatus, but we have every hope and expectation of sketching together again in October. We'll be announcing that sketchcrawl soon!
We welcome you to sketch on your own and post your drawings to share -- on the blog, in the email list, or in the Facebook group. You are also completely welcome to use our group to arrange meetups with other sketchers to whatever degree you feel comfortable with, or share any resources or ideas you find inspiring!
See you in October!
