Portable Sketching Kit
Sketching daily is a great art discipline and finding 20 minutes to sketch is fairly do-able even in the most hectic of schedules. Grab yourself a few basic tools (set out by tutor Nina Weiss) and you’re good to go…
pencils…
sketchpad
20 min drawing
- A box of coloured pencils
- a small sketchbook (her hands give an indication of its scale)
- 20 minutes
Nina finds it’s important to have these basic tools to hand at any moment when inspiration strikes.
Soon, this blog will feature her on a much longer drawing assignment, working from a photograph she took while travelling.
