Michelle Burnett - Daydreaming


This is my contribution to Dana Cooper's sketchbook for her theme "Dream", done in colored pencil. I also added a favorite quote: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams...live the life you've imagined." ~ Henry David Thoreau.

  12. A great drawing. Just discovered this blog in the middle of last week. I understand the basic principle, but what are the end results? In other words, how many pages do the collected artists create? —how often is the exchange: monthly? quarterly? —Is there a FAQ page on this blog I am overlooking?

    Love the concepts.
