Sketchers from around the world will be sharing their art on postcards.
The project has grown out of the Sketchercise group which was founded by Katherine Tyrrell.
Sketchercise is a group of people who enjoy sketching from life, have already developed the sketching habit, and have found ways of exercising with a sketchbook.
The idea of A Postcard From My Walk is that once a month an artist will mail a sketch done on one of their outings to one of the group of Sketchercise members who are participating in the project. That way they get to see the real sketch rather than just the image on the Internet.
The blog will record a monthly postal exchange of sketches on postcards between the 14 members of Sketchercise over the course of one year.
What a fun idea. Since I love to travel, I look forward to seeing the sketches from around the world.
Here is one of my sketches when I was traveling in Greece.
