Sketch Fun without a Pencil

Who needs a pencil and paper when the using the sketch pencil in Picasa is fun and easier than drawing too. Thanks goes to Ludwig of Café Ludwig for giving me this idea after he recently posted a blog on this topic. providing more details on the “how” it’s done.

These shots were taken in the Christiana Mall, DE where we made a stop while heading home from our recent PA road trip.

DE mall (4)There’s many interesting photo posts at Café Ludwig. Ludwig has another blog, This ‘n That which he describes as “Ludwig's space with some fun, some tips, some insights, some computer skills for us older folks.”

Thank you Beatrice! You really found a neat subject with lots of great detail, your sketches are wonderful. Using "art" tools can be a lot of fun.
