Shopping Sketch
Shopping Sketch – Watercolor and ink – 5 x 8 inches.
Welcome, Steemians, to my latest sketchbook post. I share these unfinished images for your enjoyment, right here on WOX exclusively. See the bottom of this post for the rest of the series!
Students often ask me what they have to do to make better drawings. My advice: “Always carry a sketchbook and draw anything that interests you.” Your sketches might not be terrific, but sometimes there are other rewards.
For example: Your wife or girlfriend may have roped you into accompanying her on a shopping trip. Like a lot of guys, you do not like shopping, but you love her. What to do? My advice: Smile and grab your sketchbook.
The corner of a woman’s clothing store didn’t interest me at all, but it was what existed in front of me when I sat down as she roamed. Fifteen minutes later I had a passable ink sketch (I added the color from memory later). I also received a kiss and enjoyed the rest of the morning with a contented partner. The sketch may not have impressed her, but she was happy that I loved her more than I hated shopping. There's a reward that's hard to beat.

Of course you can take advantage of your notebook and enjoy the moment in another way, you get inspired and make your best sketch at the moment!
Cheers!
Thank you for your comment, lanegra2804. I appreciate you taking time to reply to my post. Cheers!
Hi JM, since I received the wonderful post from you with the answers to my questions and you mentioned about Sketchbook that is accompanying you on daily I can imagine, that such sketch is done when someone is waiting for someone who is shopping and probably trying on different clothes, while the other one using a free moment for practicing skills.
I have finally managed to find time and publish your Interview, I am so delighted with that and hope you like it too. The Steem from the post I will forward to you after payout :)
