How do you keep your skills sharp?

Artist Chloe Mosbacher is a painter/photographer and mixed media artist. But one thing she does to keep her skills sharp is to draw from life. She is taking a life drawing class right now but because of the pandemic, she cannot draw from life in person with a live model. This is a practice many artists use to keep their skills sharp. Instead of drawing a live model at this time, she either draws herself with a mirror or draws from a live model over the computer. As the weather warms, she may be able to get outside to draw people live again but when met with a problem you figure out a solution. Isn’t that what artist do all the time? Below are some of her recent practice sketches.
