Since paying weekly visits to the Vancouver Art Gallery I have found
myself inspired to try new things. I understand my proportions are off
alot but not bad for my first try at drawing a portrait. Because I knew
I wanted to document my new found inspiration I decided to draw
directly onto a 12x12 piece of cardstock. The kraft brown colour
closely resembled the paper with which the great artists in the exhibit
used to draw their masterpieces. It really fascinates me how when
you break down a drawing it is merely pencil strokes on paper.
Of course if you are talented enough and can figure out how to
connect them you can make a beautiful picture. Maybe one day
after lots of study and practice I too can draw a portrait 
that I would be proud to place on display.

Oh! Oh! You should really see my bowl of fruit. LOL!!

Today I put together this mini album
with a few of my favourite things.
The key to the speed was using only 1 paper line
and that was BasicGrey's Romani.
Bling = Heidi Swapp
Chalk = Colorbox Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan
ABC's = American Craft Thickers, BasicGrey Romani
& Doodlebug
