Post Date your Sketchbook
And the countdown begins! The moleskin that I received this summer have 32 pages to fill. How many have I filled so far? 3/32. That’s right. 29 paintings must be completed before January 15th. This sketch took about 40 minutes. No big deal. That’s about 29 hours if I really drag this…
Keeping an Artist Logbook
The thought of keeping record of what I do each day has been in the back of my mind for a week now, as I have been blogging the progress of my paintings. Against my own advice, I took a glace through some of the art books I have purchased…
The Sketchbook Project Limited Edition 2012: Create and Capture
Received the long anticipated book from the Sketchbook Project yesterday evening. Haven’t had the time to look through it at the moment, but from what I flipped through there are some brilliant sketches. Some have a well deserved page for their own work like Kathryn Kirby Mcdonnald from Roswell, GA. I also…
Sketching again

As you have possibly guessed, the sketchbook finally arrived in the mail. Every now and again the unfilled pages would appear in a drawer or on a table, reminding me that I shared time in more “meaningful” areas of life now. What I would put on those pages I wasn’t…
Overgrowth in Mill Creek
With a free day from school and work I decided to head down to the mill creek ravine along with my Schminke paint set, bag and watercolor moleskin. There are great dirt trails that weave in a out of the tall green trees and if you’re lucky, there are beautiful…
Nothing New In E-Town
The sketchbook for 2012 has been uploaded thanks to all the hard work from the people at the Art House Coop. Check the page as they have done a fantastic job of displaying the images using a fancy photo plugin. Here is an excerpt from the second page of the sketchbook. I…
Ordered Sketchbook 2013
This will be my third sketchbook that I will complete for the tour in New York. They have actually changed the categories to differemt media categories that people use rather than solely base the topics on subject matter. For example…I choose sketchbook. There were other options such as alminac, photography. …
