Sketch and DrawSketch and draw, what it's all about . . . A sketch book full of interesting sketches, notes and color ideas is the foundations to a great drawing or painting. Many artists return time after time to the some location. They sketch, draw, look, consider and take photographs. Slowly they absorb what they are sketching but also experiencing. Then they begin to create. To paint. The painting becomes an extension of themselves. It is an expression of all they saw and felt and considered.
