Back to Art

I have not been art active and have not posted so let me start by including a link for the Art House Co-op at the Brooklyn Art Library; Sketch Book Project Monthlies.

Art House sends you a 3.5 X4 sketch book for you to play with and then send back to them when you are done.

"The Sketchbook Project Monthlies are similar to the big Sketchbook Projects but without all the pressure. Each month there is a theme voted on by the community and then you will have two months to work on your book. The books are smaller with less pages and allow for you to use this as an opportunity to try out new things, tighten up your skills, or just have fun. All the sketchbooks we get back will be included in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library where anyone can come in and look through the pages of your sketchbook!"

The Sketch Book has been great as a tool to get me creating again. I am exploring the use of color in my backgrounds, it has been interesting. I tried paint, white out (I just found out that there are other white out colors, so wo wo, I really liked the white out but thought alas it is also white!) and after all the torn out and glued together pages I discovered bags as backgrounds... LOL. But if I can find colored white out, well well we shall see. I will post when I get an image that I like.
