What do I put in my sketchbooks? Mostly Junk :-) Let me grab one and look. Ok I have a sketch of Christmas Ornament, Oak leaves and acorn, Spruce sprigs, Holly sprig, Apple, Orange, 4 Gnarly scrub trees, butterflies, a rose, a turtle, little red wagon, seagull, Old candle holder, Fox, couple cute girls, iguana, bananas, chicken, owl, rabbit, Toucan, river scene in ink, roadrunner on cactus, horse, cow, traffic light, seashore, armadillo, beagle, mockingbird, another turtle another cute girl, and on and on and on. Literally nothing is off limits. Thanks for the videos, they are useful, inspiring and helpful.

Very practical and organized approach! It reminds me of Richard Wood, when I studied with him. I also admire Tony Ryder, but have little opportunity to attend his ateliers. Please keep up your posting to help other Artists!

Thanks for the tips and suggestions, definitely worth the time and practice as well. What I’m doing at te moment is painting small studies in black and white and in color after I make a drawing. I put gesso in a few pages so they will be ready when I decide to paint. Later on, I will pick one of these studies to make a big painting. It is relaxing and time is the factor where I need to make it work. Great video! Blessings and take care.

3hmmm….I like this idea of having pictures of painting to copy to learn from in a sketch book. I’ll definitely try this idea…..thanks

Wow, that is an enormous compliment. I have a long way to go to be on his level. All that i know for certain is that I have an overwhelming passion that keeps me practicing every single day, so we will see what happens next...

What an excellent idea. I've filled a lot of sketchbooks but this idea will become part of my arsenal. Thanks.

Great idea! Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

thank you for the tips!... i find that i dont have so much time to draw these days.. and i dont wanna loose that ability.. and i think too much about sketching.. so just drawing a sketch could keep me in game, which is refreshing to me :)

Of course! I have a baby sketchbook I have on me always. Just a few minutes a day is better than nothing! Best of luck and thanks for watching

This is so helpful! Thanks for this video.

Your sketchbooks look beautiful. My old graphite sketchbooks have mostly smeared away to gray blobs. I flirted with using fixative more regularly, but tend to just use ink in sketchbooks these days.

Nice! I use spectra fix to preserve my drawings. It is a milk enzyme based fixative that doesn't have a strong odor and is highly effective.

so you use a bit of williamsburgh oils, they were rated up at the top, i m in spain for a year so i dont have a good selection close to me but i m trying spanish co. Mir, its hard to find good art shops close by. do you do any skiing in Colorado, great skiing there for sure.

Where is the foot drawing from? I’m thinking of copying it myself.
