The Selvedge Yard February Theme: CLOSE-UP! Kelli Nina Perkins here to announce the February theme of Close-Up! At the end of this post you can find out about this month's prizes and how to win. Your Sketchbook Challenge director says..."are you ready for your close-up?" Getting close-up is about taking a new perspective, finding a different view and appreciating the little things. Here are three ways you can try this. ONE Take a photo or find an image. TWO Find something to ZOOM in on. THREE Perspectives change when you go from landscape to close-up, so see what happens if you VIEW something from a much closer perspective. Check out my photos below to see the source for my close-ups. The theme for Febrary 2012 is: *Close-Up* Special Prize Giveaway Announcements: This year on the Sketchbook Challenge we're going to be giving away some art!
