The Pushing your Sketching Boundaries Oxford workshop ended and both of my kids are now home for the summer. That fun challenging week feels miles away now. But I am seeing changes in how I approach sketches.

I'm drawing more and painting less.

I'm back to working straight with ink.

No time to sit on a stool and spend loads of time sketching a building. Instead I work on windowed vignettes during stolen moments throughout my day.

Recording life rather than focused on product and skill development.

More journaling, text and drawing from my imagination.

This is a short season in my life and I'm enjoying the relaxed pace of summer and seeing where it leads.
