Pages in My Sketchbook 1

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!!!
