Of course the paintbrush is my favorite item with a handle! Watercolor and Pigma Micron in the Moleskine.

Contained in his beautiful eyes was love and adoration for his human family.
I realize I don't do edms often or I should say I don't "intentionally" do them often. But with all the drawing I do I realized that a lot of what I've drawn are edms. I did this from:

Such an adorable dog.
Started out with watercolour, then finished off with color pencils.

This is part of the Everyday in May challenge - drawing something every day
in May. A group of us thought it would be fun to do a Everyday Matters (EDM)
challenge each day using EDM 1-31. The list is here
The Group that is going to give this a go (so far... let Liz know if you want to join in and be added to the list)

I found a small piece of 300 lb paper in with some items that once belonged to my aunt. I had never used this weight before, so I grabbed the shakers off my mother's shelf to do a quick painting.
I am missing my sketching now that I am back from holidays. This weeks challenge is a nice way to complete my trip - the state of it at the end.
Mine is constantly changing as I explore the amazing qualities of different watercolour paints - so much to learn!

Illustrated journal entry of a leaf from our silver maple. I played with the background, including painting a fallen leaf with gesso and stamping over a wash. I just drew the leaf, first in graphite then pen. Then I added watercolor pencil.
Realised on the weekend that I joined Every Day Matters a few weeks after Easter a few years ago... In fact it was only TWO years ago – can you believe it! And Easter must have been early that year... So I am a few weeks late...but still... It is worth a pause.... as joining EDM has made such a HUGE impact on my sketching!
So to celebrate joining EDM and starting to share my sketches with the world I have re-visited the first EDM challenge that I did. The original is here.
I felt a little bit of pressure that this sketch had to be be so much better than the first – whether it is or not there are differences – one is that I no longer care so much if the sketch comes out perfectly (because I know that my circles will never be perfect) and the other is that I feel the need all the time to design the page (often over design the page... But still the compositional part of my brain is always ticking!) and back then I wasn’t so obsessed with boxes around everything. But most importantly, because now I don’t worry about perfection so much and I develop the whole page not just the single sketch, I have heaps MORE fun!!
Anyway – a big thanks to everyone who has done so much to inspire and encourage me for the last two years – for all your comments (which I never have time to reply to or often to visit your sites) and for all those that come to visit and never comment – thanks for looking – I often wonder who you are but I know that each view number is a real person who is interested enough to look at my ‘scribbles” So thanks....
Oh dear... I AM rambling tonight!
I'm smiling to myself as I sketch these boots. I wore them to my watercolor class recently, because I needed something comfortable to patrol the room during an intensive and active series of timed drills that I assigned to my students. One student said, "From now on, if I see you wearing those boots I'm going to run the other way!" I'm happy to report that everyone survived and actually outdid themselves.
