Pages in My Sketchbook 1
I love art stores and sketchbooks. Tend to buy sketchbooks even though some still have many pages left. Then I have a really HARD time braking them in,,,
Five years ago when visiting the states I bought a little
like moleskin sketchbook. Since I have this problem of breaking in new sketchbooks it still has plenty of pages. Recently listened to a podcast on
Savvypainter with Richard Scott on advantages of sketching everyday.
Since I love sketching and drawing decided it was about time to commit to at least 20 minutes a day (or almost everyday) sketching. Actually I found the transition from sketching to painting difficult. I always tended to work in lines rather than shapes. I will be sketching from references as well as from life.
I will be grouping these sketches 3-4 sketches or by the week. Will be going with the flow. All these where one days sketching!!!
