What makes you want to sketch or draw?

My mother on most of her trips has made a little sketch or water color from and including her window view. A tent flap in Turkey, stone window in Scotland, a port hole from a sail boat, wonderful little life story’s. I would love to inherit them and also make some of my own for my children.
Great post, Paula!
If I don't have time to get into my studio and do a full-blown painting, I'll sit and sketch just to release whatever creativity has been building up. I also love to sketch when I'm around children...it breaks down all sorts of barriers.
Thanks for the reminder about why it is important to sketch and draw. I don't feel very confident in this area, but I sure don't have to show anyone what I draw, do I??
No, you don't have to show anyone your drawings, Dayna. I like Helen's idea of drawing with children. What a fun activity to do with the grand kids. Who knows, they may want to hang up your drawings in their room.
