Bay View Street Scene

Wrapping up the Season
This journal page was done last week, the last week of my journal classes in Bay View.  I hate to see it end. I have plenty to do to get ready for fall classes and workshops, so I'll quit complaining and move on.  I also have a lot of fun things planned for the week  - a volunteer afternoon, two days with grandchildren, a day of painting with friends, my life drawing session, a watercolor class to teach .  .  .    Fun stuff.

Have any of you been doing thumbnail sketches?  I keep a stack of pages printed up with 2 X 2 1/2 inch rectangles right on my work table to remind me to PLAN PLAN PLAN before I start a painting. 

Our sketchbook journals are for fun  -  no planning required.

Thanks for a great 4 days of WC Journaling! It was fun...learned a few new things even tho' I've been coming for quite a few years. Love this demo you did the first day--wasn't it? Been trying to draw/paint every day--no thumbnails yet...but I'll try :-)
