WORKinprogress...sketch

...I had a teacher at Cal State Long Beach who started in me the

practice of making small thumbnail sketches of ideas, or compositions...

I use it all the time to this day...sometimes I love the sketch and almost feel no

need to improve on it...almost... (it really forces you to distill ideas down to their

most basic elements...you can play with the compositions without investing too much

time into the work until you know what it is you really want to do with it...)

 

I love how this turned out...it's a sketch for a paper cut I am getting ready to do...the composition's been in my head for some time and only now am I getting it out

onto paper....

 

(It actually only measures 3.5" x 2")
