This a good book for people who want to sketch but don't quite know where to start。 It offers examples of how to frame a subject for sketching and zero in on the elements that pop out to you。 It also offers some examples on perspective and getting started with a basic sketch that can become the basis for a more detailed work。 It shows you different sketching techniques and how to finish your work by adding watercolor。 Thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book。 This a good book for people who want to sketch but don't quite know where to start。 It offers examples of how to frame a subject for sketching and zero in on the elements that pop out to you。 It also offers some examples on perspective and getting started with a basic sketch that can become the basis for a more detailed work。 It shows you different sketching techniques and how to finish your work by adding watercolor。 Thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book。 。。。more

While my internet was down this morning， I took a mindful moment to sit in the sun and read Mindful Sketching by Peggy Dean。 It talks about the basics of sketching like vanishing point and perspective。 However， it also dissusses how the mindful part is about being observant and being aware of what is around you。 She discusses how sketching is more about the feeling than perfection。 Sketching in pen is her preferred method because it embraces mistakes。 She also give some prompts for mindfulness e While my internet was down this morning， I took a mindful moment to sit in the sun and read Mindful Sketching by Peggy Dean。 It talks about the basics of sketching like vanishing point and perspective。 However， it also dissusses how the mindful part is about being observant and being aware of what is around you。 She discusses how sketching is more about the feeling than perfection。 Sketching in pen is her preferred method because it embraces mistakes。 She also give some prompts for mindfulness exercises that utilize sketching such as tools such as Blind Contour where you sketch an object without looking at your paper。 Many of these， I had already heard of， but for someone new to the concept， it would be a perfect introduction。 She also gives other mindfulness and mental health resources to refer to for more information on the practice。 #NetGalley #May2022 。。。more
