The BeeHive Chronicles : A Year Long Sketching Adventure

BeeHive Chronicles January Supplemental

I want to invite you into my daily routine.

There is one thing that I do every.single. day- without fail, no matter the weather, my mood, my surroundings----

I sketch for a half an hour.

Don't get me wrong - I draw for endless hours each day - but these "work" drawings/paintings are intentional and usually serve a purpose and/or an end goal.

My sketching is just for me - to improve, to limber up, to stretch my muscles and to explore things I am not used to. To learn, grow and explore as an artist. They are not perfect, they are not pretty - they are my space to learn - and learning isn't always linear or perfect! 

The Bee-Hive Challenge is a YEAR LONG, FREE daily challenge.  There are weekly live Twitch Streams and a private community to really find accountability!

Would YOU like to join me on the journey?
