I’m starting to learn about the watercolor pigments in my Winsor & Newton travel palette. I’m mainly just using up the Cotman student colors that came in it because I’m really trying to learn about how the colors mix together and am not making precious pieces of art. Right now, all my art is contained in…
Sketchbook Skool
All Gooses All The Time!
Ok, so this week’s teacher at SBS is Roz Stendahl and she’s an expert at drawing animals. You should have seen her live model demonstration video. She went to the home of a parrot owner (I think the parrot was a sun conure) and showed us how she goes about capturing the essence of the…

In the beginning it’s weird to put such mundane things into a sketchbook. But then I realize that first: that’s the point, to document your life, and second: I’m…
First Time Homework & A Tool Rundown
Well, I’m really loving Sketchbook Skool and I’d heartily recommend it to anyone who’s been sitting on the fence not knowing whether it’s worth the $99 it costs. Let me tell you, I have little to no money to waste, I’m not plush in funds but I intend to take the next Klass, “Seeing” after…
