I use ring binders to hold sketching paper. When I’m out and about, it doesn’t look much like I’m sketching – I could be doing a survey (“Stay away!”) or writing notes. I hate the performance aspect of sketching outside. I don’t relish working in front of people and will always move to the edges. These sketches are the first in a long time. There was some sketching last summer as I sought clarity, but far too little. I’m sticking these images here mostly as a demonstration of where I am as I’m starting out this new journey. A bit shaky. My intent isn’t to publish everything here, since I’m doing this just for me; this process – sketching, capturing an image, scaling – will give me milestones that may help.
So I’ll see where this goes. I took a break for 15 years, but I’m finally back at it. We all make mistakes…
