Grey matters
Another grey day here in what is usually Sunny Manitoba.
With a self imposed restriction on computer start time and the fact that Blogger is having issues I feel like I am making hay even though the sun isn't shining! LOL
I have another week before my Sketchbook Skool ends and I have been motoring along.
This was learning watercolour washes. I did enjoy this. Slowly is not my usual speed but I 'Got' it!
My video viewing is sometimes like watching the herky jerky so I kinda did something while I waited for the demo to finish. You can learn lots from the pauses but it does raise the blood pressure. vbsigh. But the good news was that the lesson was a download pdf file! :) But I have a couple of more classes to get through so it may wait. This class had a definite time limit which may be good for us procrastinators. :O
What I have learned so far is that sketching isn't my Passion. Mixed Media collage is and I can diddle, well, I guess doodle, in my sketchbook journals and get ideas for my collages. It will be a tool and will certainly improve and enhance my grey matter so I can more effectively create! yay!!!!

I think your "grey" matter must be pretty colourful!
I'm with you on the sketching, elle; it's not my passion either...but I've found a book I have to work through that includes it...and so I go forth and join you on that journey. :-) We can clench our teeth together when the going gets tough.
These grey days are making me crazy! We have 30 days of rain apparently? We're all sitting around inside getting fat and grumbling to each other. ;P I can't wait to get out and walk and swim and behave like it's summer!
Happy Canada Day Elle!

I refer to my sketching, as doodling, that way there are no expectations.
