Ready, set, go!

Here's my sketchbook and well-loved watercolors, ready to be used.  It took a week to get going, but I've done a few pages so far.  At this rate, it's going to take FOREVER to finish, but I have vacation coming up!

Me with my empty book, ready to go!

Page 1 - sketches of Christine & Molly

Page 2 - sketches of Bri with backgrounds that match Bri's freshly repainted room

Page 3 - sketches of Frederica... and Chococat

It's here! It's here!! It's here!!!

I went out to get the mail this afternoon and my sketchbook had arrived!  I came back inside and found Frederica in my seat.  She wasn't nearly as thrilled as I was to have the sketchbook.

These are the contents of the envelope: the moleskine cahier sketchbook, a sheet listing the rules & instructions and an official Brooklyn Art Library card.  Once my sketchbook is done, it will become the property of the Brooklyn Art Library... so I guess the library card gives me visitation rights to my creation.

The rules & instructions.

My official library card.  Check it out: "2011 Participating Artist" - that's me!!

My official website for the project is http://arthousecoop.com/users/hcrockett.  I only have a little bit of information on there at the moment, but I'll be uploading photos of my artwork to the web site.

The Sketchbook Project 2011

I've decided to participate in the Art House Co-Op's 2011 Sketchbook Project and am reviving this blog to track my progress. I ordered my sketchbook last week and it shipped yesterday, so I expect to start drawing next week.

I chose the "If you lived here..." theme, which will explore my world in a similar way that I was planning to with this blog.  We'll see how it goes!
