As you possibly know, over in the ART group, we are doing Carla Sonheim's Drawing Lab book study. It is really a good book to get you back into some fun and no pressure drawing. Carla says, as do many of the artists I see on the net, to use what ever supplies and materials available to you to make art... don't let not having a so called popular media something keep you from playing and arting! Well, too, you might know, I am on an extended road trip. I did pack a small amount of art supplies, with a small voice in the back of my head saying "you won't have time, you won't have time!" And that same voice saying, you can't post, you can't post. Actually, I do have time. After a day of being locked inside the cab of a truck, or a day of riding and hiking around some strange new environment, it feels really good to sit at the table in our rv and do a bit of drawing. And too, it finally hit me today that I have a mac and it has a photo booth and I can easily post photos, even if they are not the greatest. So, here are the photos of some of the labs from Carla's Drawing Lab book. I am enjoying my trip and her book a great deal.
Eye drawing practices.
Drawing in public drawing practices. The campers next over were having a fun card game!
A non-dominant hand drawing of HRH checking the maps... hope he is better at deciphering maps than I am at left handed drawings, lol!
And after drawing 20 dogs, I picked this cutie to doodle on. Drawn on a blue index card with a purple chisel point marker. Doodles added using brown, sienna, and black pitt artist pens.
Today, I picked up a box of General's pastel chalk pencils at the YSM. I have never seen these before. I used them on the very last eye above, since I do not have colored pencils with me or they are buried beneath other things, and I just think I don't have them with me. I rather like how they went on the drawing paper. I did give them a spray of hair spray after applying them.
So, between traveling and art, I am sooooooooooooo having fun!

So much fun to see your drawings. I like the class, but have fallen behind because o other projects. I wish we had an RV--your trip sounds just wonderful!! Where are you now?
These are all great! I know we all need to practice drawing things like these... it sounds like a great class.
