Sketchbook Skool logo designed by Jean-Christopher Defline It started, perhaps in April of 2014, the series of three courses--Beginning, Seeing and Storytelling--offered by Sketchbook Skool,  I read about the program in Danny Gregory's blog.   Danny Gregory must be one of the most beloved artists alive today.  That's what I think anyway. He began sketching after his wife was left paralyzed after an accident in the New York City subway.  He found that it helped him through that difficult time. Now he says it changed his life.  Through sketching he met other artists and traveled around the world. He has created numerous books filled not only with his own drawings as is Every Day Matters  but also with the work of the many artists he came to know and appreciate such as in An Illustrated Life (the first book of his that I purchased) and An Illustrated Journey, another book I'm happy to have on my shelf. Some of the artists from these two books were te...

"Fruitvale Mona Lisa" I was sketching the background and this striking woman came and sat on the edge of the fountain pool.  She figured out that I was sketching her and didn't stay long.           Gandhi's birthday is October 2 every year.  Is it the beginning of the Season for Nonviolence?

Jack London Square

Jack London in bronze, 4 PM. We've created a subgroup on Facebook for Sketchbook Skolars who live in the San Francisco East Bay.  It's called East Bay Sketchers.  Our first outing was not the Lindsay Wildlife Museum but Jack London Square in Oakland.  It was a Sunday and probably the last gloriously sunny, warm day for several months. The Square on Sunday boasts a very large, lively Farmer's Market with live music. It was perfect for sketching people since there were so many of them.  We were 7 Sketchbook Skolars plus one friend who has been adopted in spite of never having taken one of the klasses.  The original triumvirate -- Aikya Param (moi) Patricia Robinson Dale Wolfe --were there, of course. We were joined by  (L to R) Lynn Cohen, Aikya Param, Dale Wolfe, Valerie Sauban. Priscilla Reid Lynn Cohen Margo Rivera-Weiss Pat Tong and Dale's friend, Valerie Sauban. It was a first time meeting for all but the original three.  ...
