"Whatever Arises"

No. 220: Sketchbook Art

I’m taking a break from writing this weekend. But I’ll leave you with one link to Sal Randolph’s post on “Ways of Seeing: Following the Brush” (because it’s exactly what I needed to read right now), and a few of my own random sketchbook drawings. Also, I’m thinking of going more with the flow and varying the format of this newsletter.

Not really “sketchbook“ drawings. These are pencil sketches on heavy scrap paper previously used as recyclable paint palettes.

3 from the "Buson (not) 100" project, a sketchbook commission for a friend, 2019.

Have a great weekend . . .
