When all else fails it is best to draw or paint in the sketchbook. Whether it is testing out color studies or improving on capturing the human form it is always good to go back to the old friend - the sketchbook.
It has a record of what you have done and an indication of what you can do in the future. There is much more life in a sketchbook than in a final painting. It has a soul and fluency in technique, colors and approach than your ever find on the wall of a gallery.
I always try to carry a sketchbook everywhere I go but other demands and obligations interfere. One's skills can really develop if they persist and are allowed to develop.
