How to make amazing sketchbooks - so many different ways. 

Glad you are getting back to art...make art for you !

My dad suggested computers to me. But while buried in math and computer classes, I could feel like my brain wasn't balanced. I instinctively went to the bookstore, got a sketchbook, and spent all afternoon drawing in nature. Felt much better after.

Your story sounds so similar to mine! I finished high school and wanted to do a visual arts course, but my well-meaning mother told me there was no money in that you should be a teacher, like she and my aunt were. I’ve been teaching for over 30 years now and am just coming back to my art now! It’s such a good feeling - have fun and enjoy!

Hey me too. Fifty eight here and took my drawing course this spring.

Yes I'm 54 and just starting art again😃xxx

So glad you enjoyed

Thanks so much,

I think so too details are great

Thanks so much. I was eating candy as I painted making the experience more meaningful.

Thanks so much, Catherine!!!

I am now teaching an independent online class. If you are interested let me know here and I will send you information.

Post your art?

Good luck! Just remember while you are working so hard to get those degrees never stop your own art practices. That is what will make you a magnificent teacher. Knowing and understanding the struggles and joys of expressing yourself through your art is the key to teaching others to make art and to live a life of creativity. Passion and excitement are contagious.

Your corgi is Sagittarius like me 😍 I'm November 27! Happy sketcbooking! Xx

Keep going! If you draw something every day, that book will be filled before you know it and your skills will improve. Have fun and don't sweat the mistakes and the wonkiness.

Thanks so much. Millie is always an inspritation.

You can alter the speed , just tip on the three dots in the upper right corner

Corgis!

Thanks so much. I wanted to get the wonderful insights I gained on the trip to Israel on paper so I would never forget. It was an amazing trip. I would love to go back.

Thanks so much.

Glad you think so!

Thanks so much.

The course is Sparks. Which is through our company Sketchbook skool

We charge about a dollar an hour for intimate art classes. I’m sorry that is frustrating.

@@SketchBookSkool I know. Limited income just makes it so difficult to take part in stuff like this.

@@bjgoels Hey Brenda, just looking back at some of the recent replies to this interview. I am so sorry that SBS doesn't fit into your budget right now. But please don't get discouraged. I want to encourage you to make art every day even if you can't take a class. Play with your art materials. Sketch and doodle and draw and paint very simple things at first. Paint the same thing over and over, and you will see your improvement. Sometimes it's 2 steps forward and one step backward. Don't worry about your mistakes or if you think it looks bad. Don't throw anything away. Over time you will see your artwork is improving and you are growing on your own. You can be self-taught. It may take longer but you will grow and learn. Keep going. As we say at SBS, "It's all about the journey." Have fun. (Take a look at Van Gogh's early paintings.)

@@janngogh Thank you for your encouragement.
