I’m sure happy to start the new year. 2017 was so full of drama that I neglected some things I enjoyed just trying to stay abreast of the news.
I started January 1 with a decision to do a better job labeling my journals and keeping better records of my art. This idea spurred from a couple of crazy lengthy searches for art I had done last year. Enough said, but I’m vowing to do better this year!
Two journals have been started. One small Stillman & Birn is dedicated for mass. I always sketch during church, and take notes on the side. This process helps me absorb the message, and have notes for future reference. Prior to this ritual I could come home and forget what the service was about. I guess it is just my personal learning style.
My second journal is for daily sketching and learning. I always try to sketch my supplies on the first page to’ break it in properly’. I will start a third journal this week just for Urban sketching.
Happy New Year 2018!
