I carry a 9 x 6 inch Strathmore sketch diary to senior center art group and clubhouse arts and crafts group. It is so much easier and more convenient to haul along limited supplies and materials. I carry a small tote bag with pencils, erasers, buc extra fine point pens and colored pencils.
I started playing with doodles. Just drawing a continuous line with swirls and twists. Right away I saw the loops as eyes, and began to see them as totems. Faces stacked in abstract compositions. I love working with colored pencils, varying the colors and mixing colors. Here are some from this sketch book. I do one or two a week. Usually finishing them off during the week, as chatting takes up art time in groups. Lol. That's why we go to these groups. It is NOT all art. It is majorly social.
