Sketch A Day 2011: pub

The purpose of a sketch a day is just to do it - sketch! It doesn't matter if it is an involved sketch or if it is a simple contour or gesture drawing. There are no rules except to sketch each day.

Life parameters can dictate the time investment, but a sketch a day commitment is designed to elevate the personal priority of sketching ... to enforce sketching. Making it into a "resolution" validates the activity (invests it with a bit of a challenge even!) and defends against competing demands. The sketch a day is designed for practice - to reinforce basic skills, and to provide daily contemplation on the issues of two dimensional representation.

Several of us are doing a sketch a day, and I would enjoy hearing from anyone else who decides to join in. We share our efforts, support each other, keep each other honest and... hopefully we'll have some fun doing this!

    This sketch of the interior of Captain Kidd's in Woods Hole was done from the corner booth. There was a local band in the far back corner and a palm and pirate mural on the wall.
    Someone had told us the Kidd had been written into Herman Melville's Moby Dick, but Wikipedia says the Kidd has been around for (only!) 100 years, while the novel was written over 50 years before that, so it would have been a neat trick...
