Landscape with white line

I'm creating a drawing a day, for two years, just for the art of it.
What other things last two years?
Today's is a landscape.
Where does it look like to you?

Scotland, mountains and sea, stories and secrets.

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it, and sharing an art tip too.
Today's drawing is Scotland, mountains and sea.
Today's art tip: Examine all conventions for your self. In art, as in life, some conventions are there because they work well, for example: windows looking dark in the distance, or top lip darker than bottom lip, others are perhaps obsolete, or false to begin with, example: brown tree trunks (they are usually silver, grey, green or black). Use your own looking skills, they are the true gift an artist brings the world.

Landscape from imagination

I'm creating art every day, does it help you?

Boat

I'm creating a drawing a day, regards of how much sleep I get, or who is getting teeth! I'm not sure if that is good professionalism, or just nuts! #drawingadayclub

Blue grey water

Today I paddled in the place where blue meets grey, and skimmed stones across to gold! #drawingadayclub

Landscape from imagination

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it.

Today's is a landscape from imagination. For some reason all landscapes I do from imagination end up being Scotland!

River landscape with directional pencil lines.

I'm creating a drawing a day for a year, just for the art of it.

Today's is a landscape where I have been careful to keep the pencil lines all going one way and then broken my rule on top.

Little figure against the surf.

We are going looking for this beach in 2019!

Today's is a beach on the Adriatic coat so it's firmly on the planned route for our year long trip round Europe.

Reasons to get rid of our stuff, make our jobs portable, and explore Europe in a camper!

Meet new people. More ocean in my life. More mountains. More time outside. Draw and paint from life. Learn new skills. Learn languages. Inspiration from new stimulus. Teach my kids to be self reliant. Educate my kids with doing and looking, not just listening and writing down. Spend less than we make. Less cooking (a little). Less cleaning. Less to regret missing when old. Stay active/ fit. Be more like my heroes. Get out of repetitive lifestyle. Quality time with my family. The kids spend lots of time away from screens and wifi. We collect adventures not clutter. Easier to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, salad and fish. Shed middle class suburban ideas that are holding us back in our comfort zone.
