What we’re especially excited about are the moments where he talks about developing the skills to draw the human figure.Īnyone who has done our 100 paintings in three days challenge will appreciate this sketchbook challenge. In his sketchbook tour, he goes over what sketchbooking means to him and the role it plays in the development of his skills. One of the reasons we really love Jeff Watts’s style is because he embraces the loose, expressive style that we often talk about in the Mastery Program. The following five sketchbook tours represent some of our favorites, (though this list certainly isn’t exhaustive).
Such a visual excursion allows student artists to see how some of their favorite artists hone their own skills and develop their ideas for projects. Now, we’d like to introduce one more idea to our students: the sketchbook tour. That’s why we regularly include articles on our blog to help them find some artistic inspiration for their student sketchbooks, like this post and this one. Students have a lot of freedom when it comes to drawing in their sketchbooks, which can be both liberating and intimidating. Doing so allows them to develop important skills, hone their ideas for painting and to keep a visual journal of their experiences. We encourage our students to keep sketchbooks.
