As mentioned yesterday, I am doing the 31 days challenge again this January, but scaled down. I decided to spend 15-30 minutes a day on practicing figurative gesture drawings. I never sketch. I know I should- but I don’t. So I think this is a great commitment for myself and my art practice. Here’s a … Continue reading Day 3 of drawing practice

As I’m going down memory lane, flipping through old albums filled with my most precious souvenirs, I can’t help but put aside everything for a moment to capture this story.
