Fill the Well Wednesday

 

"Fill the Well Wednesday's" are inspired by author Julia Cameron's "artist dates" found in her book The Artist Way. Over the summer I began a Wednesday ritual of taking long intentional walks in the woods, up and down the gravel road, and in my garden with my sketch book, camera, and a basket to collect interesting found objects. I love to draw quick, expressive, representational, gestural drawings of things I find in nature. I have a true love affair with nature, flowers, trees, and all the creatures. My happy little homestead has a constant flow of magical changes with the seasons. And that is what I really document on "Fill the Well Wednesday's."

I call my sketch book the "well." As I'm painting or creating I use my sketchbook as my go to resource. I'm still working on developing this habit. But, I'm slowly finding my own visual voice. And with more consistent use I can really see this tool helping me develop my own unique style. Join me next week for "Fill the Well Wednesday."
