At times, drawing and painting are one and the same, to me. I paint a landscape or figure in this sketchbook pretty much everyday. It is amazing how one can progress in a relatively short period of time.
Actually, what I really do is experiment with pigments that I have learned about or try new combinations. These pigments then find themselves eventually, included in my paintings. Instead of making little swatches which many artists do, I turn them into landscapes such as these.
The texture of this lovely watercolor paper(Elseware) allows for expressive painterly affects. This blank- paged little booklet was purchased from my local co-op(Brattleboro, VT co-op).
Many of these little landscapes were painted in less than five minutes, often late at night.
