IT’S BEEN A WHILE since I’ve made a video but I wanted to share some of the fun I’ve been having lately with sketching. Not only is sketching incredibly important to develop a great composition it is also a valuable way to evolve a distinctive compositional style. Your compositions should have the same signature look as your paint strokes.
I also wanted to share a great sketchbook my wife gave me that was created by book maker Teodora Poiata in Portugal. I love drawing on the highly textured pages which have been toned with a beautiful yellow ochre patina. Teodora’s Etsy site is here.
