Why I'm sketching 9 years into my painting hobby.

Here is a mini sketch of fa rocky shore.

Well, for one reason sketching challenges me. The process is often in reverse from painting. Sketching in black and white pushes me, limits me, and stretches me. That is why I do it. I’m not an expert. I don’t spend more than 10 minutes on a sketch. Most take about 5. I can be a perfectionist, so this eliminates that possibility. I post my pics here and Instagram not to show them off, but to hold myself accountable and to practice creating for myself and for no one else. If no one likes them, all the better. These pieces are for fun, practice, and lessons in creating for myself with no concern as to whether others like or comment. This is a challenge for sure for someone who thrives on encouragement and kudos
