Thanks. Urban sketching definitely interests me.

Thank you for that.

Another one: Where does Urban sketching fit into this idea of work or play? It is enjoyable because of the discovery, based on direct observation but it still involves a lot of interpretation because of the need to simplify.

Thanks for this great course. I have just discovered it. I have a lot of questions about what counts as play. Just for starters:

Does trying new materials or mixing two materials count as play as long as we are not doing full on materials tests, swatches or that kind of thing? This is another case where a lot of the fun comes with making something beautiful and different. Sometimes I am inspired by another artist's work and want to try something similar.

At least this gets me over the fear of opening materials up, using them and marking up pages.
