131 Painting Loose Figures: Sketchbook Studies

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Do you use a sketchbook to practice and work out new ideas?

[@tuckerdinnes2132]

I use the same journal! I play in it almost daily 🎨

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thats great! I have neglected mine but want to get back at it! Isn't the Stratchmore mixed media journal great?

[@tuckerdinnes2132]

@@pattscrivenerartist it is! As you mentioned, it holds up well to many layers

Love them👌

[@pattscrivenerartist]

Thank you Pamela!

[@aliciagraysonstanley2449]

I have been following you and am hooked! The problem I am having (as probably most artists do) is not letting go and being freer, afraid I will ruin a good thing. Ugh. My home is filled with abstract art that I have done, and I wrestled with when to stop. Please keep inspiring us:)

[@pattscrivenerartist]

That is why working on paper or in a sketchbook is so powerful -the preciousness is taken away!

[@impish22]

So fun, thanks for posting

Thanks Denise!

[@kelliecox-riede7432]

Brilliant! ❤ Thank you for showing your creative process in your visual journal. My pages warp even though I have heavy multi-media paper. Is this cold pressed paper?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

You are so welcome! The journal is 140lb. Cold pressed for mixed media.

[@aliciagraysonstanley2449]

Patt, when painting, are you doing shading or highlights in your figures?

[@pattscrivenerartist]

It depends on the day but I usually put some on the faces and legs to give them some form.
