Update for Early March, and a Free Sketching Session
Collected Posts, Quick Links, and a Free Zoom drawing session
All of last month, I collected my sketches from India into a series of blog posts. I share my work on Instagram as it happens but I also like to collect my thoughts and impressions and write longer posts. These are the first few posts in that series. If the one-line summary intrigues you, click on the link to read the complete post, each of which has multiple sketches.
Why am I doing this? I asked, and many of you replied (thank you for your input!) saying you’d love to see everything collected in one place, so here goes:
The Study Hall of Dreams and Hopes is the story of a young, determined, and hardworking India, a story you are sure to find inspiring, wherever you may be.
Crawford Market is Mumbai’s most famous fruit market and is always abuzz with activity.
Washing Linen, and Fishing Marlin are two activities I capture quickly with one of my favorite tools, a brush pen.
Small Spaces explores Mumbai’s chawls and alleys.
Fishing Boats and Fish Markets in Mumbai, Goa and Kochi.
KICK OFF NEXT WEEK WITH A FREE SKETCHING SESSION!
Thank you for coming along on this ride as I figure out this newish (to me) platform, Substack, and especially as I figure out how much (or little) you want to hear from me! As a little thank you for your patience with my experiments, I’m running a free Zoom sketch session early next week.
I run a monthly Sketch-Together Session for paid members, and this one is modelled after it. NOTE: I turn one camera on my sketchbook, but this is NOT a workshop. It is exactly what it sounds like, an opportunity to turn up and sketch from common images with a room full of people who love to sketch.
If you are interested, mark your calendars and join in on Monday!
* The Zoom room is open until it fills to its capacity.
People Sketching Session to kick off the 5-day “One Week 100 People” challenge.
(This is in addition to the “30 people in 30 minutes” session for paid members on Friday March 14th)
Monday, March 11th, 2024, 8am Pacific Time until 8:30 am
(Double-check the time where you are as California does a “spring forward” and changes its time on Sunday, March 10th)

This is your last chance to join my online, 4 week-long,people-sketching workshop that starts on Saturday.
The Mumbai sketches have as much vitality as the city itself.
