Sketchy Mondays

Heather Carr 2012 Art

Something that is sketchy can also be described as incomplete, fragmentary, vague, imprecise, imperfect, hurried, and hasty.  All those things could describe my various sketchbooks too.  I often draw when I’m half asleep and totally depleted from my day.

I love looking at artists’ sketchbooks, even when they aren’t fancy, but just fragments of ideas captured on paper.  So, I’ve decided to try, once a week, to share some sketches from my books.  I hope you enjoy them!

If you are looking for an interesting book on artists and their sketchbooks, check out An Illustrated Life: Drawing Inspiration from the Private Sketchbooks of Artists, Illustrators and Designers by Danny Gregory.  Love this book!

Sketches

I’m really enjoying having a blog, even if I only manage to post once a week.  I spent this week working on my Artist’s Statement and refining digital images of my work for one of my upcoming shows.

So… I thought I’d share with you a few recent pages from one of my sketchbooks.  I played around with them a tiny bit using Snapseed.  (A great app for polishing up photos and adding filters/frames.)  I am really interested in the possibilities of manipulating non-digital art on the computer.  It’s something I’d like to explore in the future.
