It is good to have a place where the marks for just for yourself, and the result doesn’t matter.
I’ve found that it’s hard to get a red red that reads only red!
The purpose of a sketchbook is to use it. Fill it up with trials! Give some circles a go!
These are not how-to books, but rather inside cameos of what other artists have done in their sketchbooks and artist journals.
My approach here is more meditative than anything else, just marinating in being there, storing it all up for when I am not.
This trip journal was tiny but worked out well for our jam-packed adventure.
My artist journals are where I try out either new ideas, like new compositional ideas, new color combinations, new materials, new ways to mix media, new mark making combinations, new layering methods, new concepts…
It is so therapeutic and refreshing to spend some time with color when the results do not matter.
In my artist journals lately, mostly I’ve been experimenting with my new ink.
