For the past several months Ive been trying to meditate every morning before drawing in my sketchbook as a kind of prelude to my days work. By clearing out my head, I am receptive to the flotsam and jetsam of thoughts that creep in around the edges. It also makes me slow down. I find that I have alot more patience with my drawing.I had a bit of a setback several weeks ago. I finished a sketchbook and got on the horn to order more when I was informed that my beloved Sennelier linen covered sketchbooks with the cream colored paper are no longer being made. Oh, woe is me. I scrambled around to find a replacement and finally settled on a Fabriano book. The pages are thicker and bright white, so its been a bit of an adjustment. Note to self: Dont fall in love with art products. Anyway here are some recent pages in the order I did them..
