A to Z Blog Challenge: D is for...

Drawing

Drawing or sketching? I like both, but drawing is a more time intensive activity. Sketching can be done while waiting for your coffee at your favourite coffee shop. Ofter called urban sketching it can be a quick record of a time or place, whereas a drawing usually requires more time, more attention, and can be a work of art when it is done.

Both are fun, and serve to satisfy the urge to create something. So, when I have a bit of time, I like to do a drawing with lots of details and might even add colour with watercolours or coloured pens or pencils.

Sketching on the go? Why not? It is excellent practice to capture a moment (or moments) and takes almost no time on a busy day...just long enough to get a cup of your favourite brew.

There is no post tomorrow, so I will see you again on Monday!

  2. My father painted, and he often sketched. At the time, as a little girl, I didn't care for his rough sketches and called them "scribble drawings."

    1. HI Lisa, I totally get that. No one in my family painted, although my grandfather did some quick sketches of animals - I didn't care for those either. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I only learned to draw and paint as an adult, because I wanted to. Now I also teach both 😉

    1. Thank you, Lisa. I like to do block printing too - I have been thinking of doing a few small ones later in the year.

  5. Drawing is a popular word for this Saturday. (That I'm commenting on a Sunday because I was offline yesterday.)
