Do you remember scribbling when you were a child? Or, better yet, getting accused of scribbling by another child who thought they were cool?
As an art therapist, I am aware of scribbling as the first stage of artistic development for a child. It is such a freeing feeling and can be very colorful.
I was having these thoughts as I scribbled with colored pencils to create my maple leaf sketch. What fun! It is the only way I know to layer color with this medium. Leaves are a favorite of mine and I could not resist filling a page of my sketchbook with a leaf in its last days.
Maybe it is symbolic of the year ending?
Scribbling is fun. Lovely leaf sketch.
ReplyDeletewow - if and what wonderful scribbling! looks like a photo!
ReplyDeleteI do remember when I first started scribbling, Joanne. In fact, I'd quit for a very long time and it's only been the last couple of years that I've really delved into it and teaching/learning to grow in my technique, etc.
ReplyDeleteLove your leaf - they intrigue me as well. Nice job. :)
Happy 2012!
