In Pursuit of a Hidden Artist

This blog is really a journal of my journey into the world of art. I have no formal art training and have not done much more than doodle since I was a kid. But I am learning that art is an important aspect that has been missing from my life. Thanks to some wonderful extremely artistic friends in the fountain pen world and on Twitter I have begun this journey - thanks, Mia, for insisting that everyone is an artist!

A Few EDM Challenges and a New Online Watercolor Class

Did a few more EDM challenges and started a new online watercolor class: Watercolor for the Journal and Sketchbook from Jessica Wesolek

As usual my sketchbook is a Stillman and Birn Gamma series
