The BeeHive Chronicles : A Year Long Sketching Adventure
BeeHive Chronicles January Supplemental
I want to invite you into my daily routine.
There is one thing that I do every.single. day- without fail, no matter the weather, my mood, my surroundings----
I sketch for a half an hour.
Don't get me wrong - I draw for endless hours each day - but these "work" drawings/paintings are intentional and usually serve a purpose and/or an end goal.
My sketching is just for me - to improve, to limber up, to stretch my muscles and to explore things I am not used to. To learn, grow and explore as an artist. They are not perfect, they are not pretty - they are my space to learn - and learning isn't always linear or perfect!
The Bee-Hive Challenge is a YEAR LONG, FREE daily challenge. There are weekly live Twitch Streams and a private community to really find accountability!
Would YOU like to join me on the journey?
