Here is a small selection of artists through the ages and some pages from their sketchbooks which have been passed on through the ages and the different ways in which their books were kept.
Since December I have spent about 5 weeks in Seoul, Korea. I always stay at the Grand Hyatt. Love that joint. There is a grand lobby with a beautiful bar overlooking the entire city of Seoul. It sits in front of 30 foot windows. Very impressive. I’m not much of a fancy boy but I […]

A Beginner’s Guide to Live Sketching with Winsor & Newton by Phil Dean I love sketching live and whilst it can be one of the most challenging disciplines, it can be the one of the most rewarding. A lot of people use photographs to draw from in the studio, but I think the finished artwork betrays the ...

On the ferry to Corsica A shot in the stomach, a breath of wind in the hair, the sun in the dark glasses … It’s like being there … We are in Corsica! A world full of incredible places, cut in half: up the mountain, down the sea … The gods of the Mediterranean Sea […]
By Gabi Campanario in Paraty, Brazil That “Five Day Art Challenge” going around on Facebook gave me the push I needed to scan and share the last of my Paraty Symposium sketches. I can’t quite remember what musings I wrote next to the drawings. Hopefully nothing too embarrasing!
I always enjoy walking past this funky old place in Ponsonby, all 3 (or is it 4, it’s really hard to tell) storeys grow organically up the bank to meet the road – even then it’s inhabitants need to walk up some stairs to meet the footpath. I Love the double doors to nowhere on the […]
On Saturday I was free to wander out in the world again after a week of illness. Sitting on a park bench, overlooking Camden Harbor, a new creative friend & I played with watercolors & talked art & process...I learned new things as I watched her & listened to her enthusiastic thoughts about art. For me, art continually offers new discoveries, inspiration & re-inspiration. Our visit ended with a jaunt to the town Art Shop, Oh Joy, Joy, Joy! We both now have new 4 X 6 " hot press paper pads & ceramic palettes & I have a new sable brush which feels lush & fluid & soft as it gathers water in a way that my old brushes never did!! After the town visit I went to the top of Mount Battie, a place where my spirit always soars. While the many tourists clicked away to the East, over the Bay as the sun was setting, I settled into my red chair facing West to the Hills. The longer I sat still, looking, breathing, making marks on my paper, the more revealed itself, a graceful tree branch here, a brilliant carmine there, a new hue in the distance...This process, it has to do with soul, serenity, spirit, heart...Words fail me here, so best to say thank you to Saturday, to freedom, & thank you to those of you with whom I share some of my process.

While I enjoyed taking the workshops at Urban Sketching Symposium in Barcelona (sketches done during those sessions are at the Symposium blog), I feel fortunate to have a few days after that to wander around the city to take in the sights, sketchbook in hand. These sketches were drawn in Stillman & Birn Beta series […]
