For God So Loved the World

A rough sketch while watching DVD

Art in the Dark, so to speak....

There is time for art, but I lack the motivation? Sound familiar? Sometimes I stop by the Media Room at my favorite local library and borrow an art instruction tape for my nighttime entertainment. While watching another artist paint or draw, I take my sketch pad and pen and sketch the artist at work. The artist while working maintains a pose and the camera angle pretty much stays the same. If I turn the lights down and use a small task light on my sketch pad, I can see the details on the screen much better. I call it "art in the dark". I will admit, I often rewind to see what I missed that the artist was doing, and I get a lot of back shots, but it beats being a couch potato and channel surfing. Try it!
