  4. Glad you are all enjoying the sketch book inspiration. Pauline, be sure to keep your sketch book out where you can see it. You will be more tempted to draw in it. You are welcome to go to my online sketch book and practice designs you see there. Eventually, your designs will become your own, but maybe my designs will give you a jumping off point in your sketch book.
    My Best to All of You,
