In Draw Your Adventures, artist and illustrator Samantha Dion Baker invites you to savor moments and capture memories using your eyes, your creativity, and a few art-making tools. With as little as a sketchbook and some pens, begin a new art practice or enliven an existing one with inspiration from the prompts, challenges, examples, and scavenger hunts that populate these pages. Your adventures are worth recording, whether they take you as close as your own kitchen or across the globe. Baker encourages you to see the world through an explorer's lens and provides ideas to guide you through adventures you can have during the everyday, on staycations, and over grand trips. • Paint your own postcards to send when abroad. • Add pockets to your sketchbook for storing mementos. • Create abstract pieces featuring the colors of the clothes you dug up in a closet cleanout. • Make a series of paintings of family and friends' front doors.
