Katherine, it seems you had a great time in France.. We started keeping notes of the menu in France some years ago only to find out that our cook has a rather solid set of dishes he repeats more or less every year :). Quite often when we arrive a...

I also keep going back to the high res. copy - it really is beautiful. I have some gridded pads and have been considering sketching on them for the same reason, Cathy. It is one of the things that I love about Italy, the availability of gridded p...

Ooh, how nice to see a sketch again ;) - I was beginning to think we were losing the plot a bit on having lovely chats but no sketches! The grey silhouettes really make those fiery trees glow, Robyn, very lovely and the fog is great. I have that s...

I'm back from the printers and thrilled with the result. While I waited they printed Martin's calendar on a nice matt card stock, colour looks great and for a total cost of only 8 euros. I haven't had it bound because I plan to get an A4 frame and...

Morning All :) Pat - There aren't many sketchbooks on scribd - we could corner the market! I notice that one has to be in the US to actually sell books on the site. Hopefully they will extend that service. Cathy - I hope your guttering is back o...

Walking fast, sketching later

I'm taking a different path from the rest of my fellow sketchercisers--- for now, at least. I walk very fast for an hour to an hour- and- a- half, three times a week. I have my dog with me and this rapid clip is as much for her sanity as for mine. We both do better all day if we've been physically challenged early in the morning!
I've started to search for and collect 2 or 3 fallen or discarded objects that strike my fancy each time I walk. These I tuck into a small shoulder bag and take home to… Continue

Sketching Machu Picchu

This painting was started on location just below the Guardian’s Hut near the top of the archaeological site. I don’t know the number of steps, but the climb took about half an hour from the site entrance, and I think the vertical rise is about 250 m. Anyway the view was spectacu… Continue

Sketchercise is now BY INVITATION ONLY

Activity to maintain your health or become healthier doesn't need to be done in a gym. This group is for people who enjoy sketching from life (no photos!), have already developed the sketching habit AND have found ways of getting out and about and exercising with a sketchbook. Walk or cycle or paddle your own canoe - it doesn't matter what form of exercise, so long as it involves activity and sketching!

This group is for people with the Sketchercise habit and is now invitation only. In future, invites may be offered to people who are active on Sketchercise on Flickr for those people who would like to give Sketchercise a try - but haven't yet developed the habit. We also review your nominated website/blog for evidence of your sketching while taking exercise.
