Every artist should keep a sketchbook. The sketchbook is the place for me to explore and grow in my ability to see. In my sketchbook you will find all kinds of things, drawings, notes, sketches for compositional design ideas. I usually take my sketchbook with me everywhere I go. There are always opportunities to sketch a face in the crowd. I think I am most attracted to people when I draw. There is just something about the challenge of getting the right gesture of a person's pose, especially when they do not know I am drawing them. Unguarded moments become the impetus for future paintings or prints.
Here is a drawing I did last night of my wife while she was watching tv.
