11 Advantages Of Sketchbook Practice Over A Painting Studio Practice

3/16/2022

 

11 Advantages Of Sketchbook Practice Over A Painting Studio Practice:
​
  1. Totally portable and on the go 
  2. A pencil and piece of paper are easily found
  3. iPhone camera to jog memory if I can’t sketch right then
  4. Everything and anything are fair game to draw 
  5. Junk is ok as it’s just PRACTICE 
  6. Sketchebooks become “idea warehouses” for future paintings 
  7. Color studies and combinations are cheaper to test
  8. Written notes kept in one place, with the design
  9. Reference materials created, from random words to actual design notes
  10. I can just draw without hearing my inner brat voice insist that I follow any rules and lastly
  11. Sketchbook data mining and data analysis (for all us geeks) give me clues as to what I’ll actually want to paint as the theme of my new painting collections.
I’ve been here before. It’s ok if I’m not painting. I’m in transition. As long as I can sketch, I’ll be ok. Besides, my Painting Studio Practice will thank me later as I’ll have so many ideas that I can hardly wait to be in there!

If you’d like to see how my sketchbooks influence my painting, Lisa Call shared photos of my sketchbooks and a little about how I data mine through them here: 


​Artists and Their Sketchbooks by Lisa Cal

Andy and I just ordered our meals and I had a few minutes to draw the still life that was all ready for me at our table. The sugar packets in a tiny pot, the hand sanitizer, the napkins with their holder. I’m using a Kaweco fountain pen with sepia ink.

Before my watercolors melted, this is a sketch I did of different areas around us. I miss the colors, but I can’t pack them in my purse because they have melted. I already cleaned up the mess and stashed my kit away.
