Thumbnail sketches are quick little drawings which help you consider your options as far as developing a composition. Before you get too far along in your painting it is important to have settled on a composition that you feel good about.
Sometimes I combine ideas or elements from one or more thumbnail sketches into one final sketch. More than anything it is great to look back at these drawings as a form of inspiration. Some are quite clear in their intent while others lack strong cohesion.
Regardless, I can see the evolution of a painting in these graphic notes. These usually do not involve color but I can imagine pigment combinations with strong associations. Many utilize techniques to draw the eye into the picture whether by depicting a meandering path or river.
