What I liked about Alice's post was the openness and fluidity of the sketchbook page as reference. I am not thinking of it as collecting everything that I want in a painting, but putting together some things I want to try in a painting or series. THIS color, THAT kind of line, something like that. Then, of course, the painting does its own thing, but when stuck, I can consider my reference sheet.Jane Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062718110759969682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-61119084578740700272018-03-14T08:07:47.622-04:002018-03-14T08:07:47.622-04:00Beautiful!!!

I love the vertical red lines and the tiny white lines or scratches here and there. <br />I've read Alice's article too and I must thank you for the link; it is a definitely interesting concept (although I hate planning anything when I paint) much in keeping with what I have been doing for years, collecting sentences, textures and combination of colours, but it was all a bit hectic and never organized. I can see the point of it all and will definitely try and collect everything in a sketchbook or on a board from now on.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381951092567074393noreply@blogger.com
