January 09, 2021 Making Google Earth art, rollerskating frogs, and sketching every day
Where should I travel next on google earth? I had a lot of fun exploring the world to make some art for this week's episode of the Draw Pod. I drew and painted a beachside restaurant (?) in Costa Rica using watercolor and micron pens in my moleskine watercolor sketchbook. I am enjoying following through with my new year resolutions and sketching every day and spending more time learning about art. Thanks for listening, and make sure to check out the links from this episode.
