Learning to draw has taken on a whole new dimension!

A while ago, I decided to draw a thumbnail sketch everyday. I do it just before I go to bed as this is my only quiet time. I spend the day looking forward to this little activity.

Do you get junk mail? I flip through all of it to look for subjects that I think I can draw, and I go for it. I can't wait to get up in the morning and look at the drawing I did the night before. That's the part that I love the best.

My thumbnails are 1.14 inches square, it seems to be a perfect size.

I even drew the bridge that was my topic in the last newsletter. It's amazing to see it in miniature.

The main thing I've discovered is that I have more confidence in drawing any topic.

My husband asked me to do a mural on our brick retaining wall. Initially, I was worrying what I could possibly paint on there. Now that I'm into the swing with these thumbnail sketches, ideas are flying through my head in all directions! Something has been released because I no longer have any doubts, just simple, beautiful exhilaration.

I decided to create a page about thumbnail drawings, since I had so much to tell you.

Once you visit it, you will see some of my thumbnail sketches, plus a link to view my thumbnail page. I can't wait to finish my first page of thumbnails. I don't worry about any type of order or if one drawing will look any good next to the other. I let my instinct decide what I'm going to draw next. I wonder which one will be your favorite?

I'd be extremely happy if you try this and you have the same revelations as me. Don't forget to write!
