15 Minutes each Day for your Art

We're all busy and artists who have families with young children and teen are especially busy. We're busy with our lives and we're also busy taking care of our children's lives as well.

With this in mind, there is no reason EVERYONE can find at least 15 minutes per day to draw or sketch. If you take public transportation then you even have less of an excuse because you can take a sketch book and make a quick sketch during the ride to work.

List of possible places and times to sketch:

1. During your commute while your stuck in traffic.
2. During your commute while your en route on public transportation.
3. During your lunch break.
4. Doodle while your on the phone with a customer or client.
5. Waiting to pick your kids at school or sporting event.
6. During breaks at your kids events.
7. In the morning set your alarm and wake up 30 minutes earlier.
8. While dinner is cooking.
9. Stay up 15 minutes each night and sketch before you go to bed.
10. In line at the deli doing your groceries.
11. Just give it some thought and you'll figure out many other times.

Fifteen minutes per day and you will greatly improve your drawing and painting.

There are small groups of people putting together games using the old time rules and wearing the original uniforms. You can check out some of the rules and information at this site: '
