2018 Wrap Up

I didn't plan ahead this year, I just jumped right into my journal. My only goal was to use material I had on hand. I used an old Dylusions art journal, gouache paint, and PBP. At least that's how I started. The PBP ran out about the time the time I had set aside for this project changed. Travel & family health isssues came up so in order to continue I needed to change materials. I switched to a Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen (black) that I had used for the journaling. I also dropped the gouache. This meant I could finish all 30 days. Posting was late for the last part. I also found the prompts great at first then gradually lost interest in them. But it did make it easier to know what I was going to sketch each day. Didn't completely fill the book so I will probably finish off the few last pages so that I can put a completed journal on the shelf.

Thought of a car first but a nut & bolt are easier to draw. Yes I am getting tired of drawing prompts.

April 28 - Something bumby & lumpy

Potatoes are usually bumby & lumpy on the outside. Hopefully my mashed potatoes aren't.

April 27 - Something dust covered

Like who uses a book dictionary anymore. Most people would have a hard time locating one in their home.

My, brain, my memories are my prize possession. Without them who am I?
