SKETCHBOOK PROJECT...

Yes, the sketchbook project officially takes off this week
I'm participating in Jeff Lafferty's sketchbook project.
Each artist will draw one page. There's no theme.
The sketchbook will travel around the world and if all goes according to plan it will take an year and half to go back to Jeff!! Amazing!

Here's a video about it!
Subscribe to his channel so you can follow the sketchbook around the world and also enjoy his art!

Every time Jeff has an update video about the sketchbook I will post here also!

ANNOUNCEMENT...

No more You Tube videos!
Today I decide to stop uploading my videos on You Tube and I deleted the ones already there!
I like doing videos, I enjoy the process but I don't have good equipment (I have a Panasonic Lumix model DMC-FS42 and my phone camera HTC Desire 620 is 8MP back/5Mp front) to show my art or my drawing/painting process. I was just filming Unboxing Videos and photos... they where crap.
I not saying you shouldn't do it if you only have equipment like mine. Please do it!
Don't let my opinion stop you! I'm the one who is  not comfortable anymore!

I will for sure continue to upload videos HERE on my blog!
For the future I really, really want a semi-professional or professional camera, preferable a Nikon! Who knows...

BAD APPLES 12 DAYS DAY 7...

..is Stocking.
   When I was think about this theme several ideas came to mind. But there was none better than the real thing.
  There is so much you can carry in 3 suitcases on a airplane with weight limitations! And one of the suitacases is for art materials and some books in Portuguese for my son. Moving to another country isn't easy and leaving behind 36 years of precious belongings no small fee (books mainly)!
  The only Christmas decorations that made the cut was the stocking and the top Christmas star. They are very special to me!

The materials used are:
-Kuretake Millennium Pure Black
-Derwent Graphik Line Marker Sepia
-Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pen Gold 250***
