When I've posted my markmaking efforts over the years, often someone will mention in the comments that they would like to try - or get back to - watercolor or sketching or such. So when this crossed my screen it seemed like something that may be of interest. It's called the Sketchbook Revival Binge Fest, with free access from May 27th - June 9th to video workshops by over 100 artists.
I know there is an upgrade option for longer access than the two weeks, but personally I know that a 2-week free access window would make me much more likely to look for a workshop I'd like to see, and then actually watch it in hopes of finding a useful tip or inspiration.
Anyway, I thought it might be of interest to someone, so here it is. And it starts tomorrow, so I think today is the final day to register.
(And in case you are wondering with recent posts if I'm having camera issues at the moment...yes, very much so. But this post in particular seemed to need some sketching, so I looked in my photograph files and came up with this rough little video of a sketchbook from several years ago. It was, of course, an experiment, not meant for publication. But now? Send for the Understudy! It's time has come! I hope this works.)
It works beautifully — thank you! I’ve always loved your art, and your willingness to share.
ReplyDeleteThat's very kind of you, Cam - thank you!
DeleteThanks so much! Maybe I will try it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great suggestion. In time for signup, too. I hope people do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea. I think people should give things a try, just to see. It may not work out, but it may become a lifetime joy.
ReplyDeleteDipping my toe into Sketchbook Revival for the first time, thanks to you!
ReplyDeletesounds like it would be an interesting thing to take part in if I were a painter. I did enjoy peeking through your sketchbook and am curious to know...why don't you paint on the back of the pages? Is it because the paint bleeds through? Obviously I don't paint so have NO clue about these things.
ReplyDeleteCame back to let you know your inspiration "took" this time, and I actually have been watching some of the sketchbook revival sessions and even started my first-ever sketchbook. Before I've always gotten down with trying to find the perfect sketchbook. This time, I decided to just grab a a 9x12 pad of Arches cold press off my shelf and call it a sketchbook! Made a start with two exercises from the program.
