Sketch something purple.
All sketchers are welcome and there is no need to sign up. Send in your sketches in jpg format and mail them to: sketchtuesday@yahoo.com by Monday, April 11, 2011 and I will include them in Tuesday’s slideshow. If your sketches come in after Monday night I do not guarantee that I will add them in late…..just too much going on right now. Complete instructions are found by clicking the Sketch Tuesday tab at the top of my blog.

Love the idea to do portraits in purple! Your family always has great ideas and it is a joy to have you participate in Sketch Tuesday.

These are beautiful Nadene! How did you learn how to draw, and how do you teach it? I used to love drawing in high school, but lost interest. I drew mostly horses.

@Julie, Thanks! I have always loved drawing! I teach my children to look carefully and draw what they see. They love art too and they seem to improve with practice. We also use books that help us develop our art skills like Drawing on the Artist Within and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.

Wonderful! I’m going to check my library for these. I seem to only be able to draw a tiny bit well (blush) if I can see another person’s drawing and see the lines. I can’t seem to see how to draw with looking at a photo or a real person. I’m hoping to practice, as it is so relaxing to me.
