I am just getting back into drawing and painting after many years of getting my degree and teaching my children at home and teaching them the basics of drawing, color, and watercolor. Now I need supplies. Thanks for your inspiration and very professional techniques. Crystal I am amazed at looking at your simple but so fully developed idea of the grid system to do your sketches in.

Jana, I used a little almost-square template that I cut out of watercolor paper. Since then, I've made a template out of oak tag the size of my sketchbook page, with differently-sized openings to trace onto the sketchbook page. I'm looking forward to test driving that one soon! Marta, I wish you lots of joy with your new plein air painting endeavor. Plein air is the best! Robyn and Sherie, thanks so much for stopping in and commenting!

I love how you approached the sketchcrawl. Your work is inspiring as I recently joined a plein air group in my town, Riverside, California.

I love the variety of subjects and how they all fit together. I also really like your oil paintings. The vase in the sunflower painting is especially wonderful. Do you use a template for the grid or something to trace around to make the little boxes in the grid? Your sketchcrawl grid is great! I love the variety of subjects and how they all fit together.
