QUICK SKETCH IDEAS

QUICK SKETCHES ARE AN ARTIST'S BEST TOOL

THESE QUICK SKETCHES WERE TAKEN AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I MADE THEM LOOK PRETTY FOR THE WEBSITE. NORMALLY I SKETCH IDEAS ON ALL KINDS OF PAPERS, ANYTHING I CAN GET MY HANDS ON WHEN I SEE SOME PLACE OR SCENE THAT INSPIRES ME.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I EVEN SKETCHED ON THE BACK OF A CHECK AND A NAPKIN. HAVING A SKETCHBOOK ON HAND IS PERFECT FOR QUICK SKETCHES. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A SKETCH BOOK I MIGHT SUGGEST YOU START A FILE AND KEEP YOUR INSPIRATIONAL SKETCHES AVAILABLE FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO BRING THEM TO FRUITION AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL WORKS IN THE OIL PASTEL SMUDGE TECHNIQUE.

WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN AN IMAGE INTO IT'S SIMPLE SHAPES, ELEMENTS AND FORMS
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR SHAPES FOR YOUR TEMPLATES.
THAT'S HOW EASY IT IS TO THINK LIKE A "SMUDGER!"
