Painters Tip
Keeping A Painter Journal
I ask my workshop students to start a painting journal a few weeks before
my workshops. I am a big believer in keeping a painter journal. I take notes all the time about places I go and things I see. I use the journal for notes on paint mixing, various palettes I may be using, ideas I have for paintings and series, technical information,research, marketing ideas, thumbnail sketches,field notes on atmospheric conditions, direction of light,local color, etc.
I also use it to record my ideas for future projects and impressions I get from the world around me.
I know some people just like to journal about their life in general, but that is not my goal. I am recording specific information, relating to my career as an artist.
I hope you will start yours today.
