Plein Air Sketchbook Flip Through

There was such a great response to yesterday’s sketchbook flip through (thanks so everyone who commented!) that I just posted another one on YouTube. This is the companion book that I take with me on my travels, so it has journeyed from Montreal to Spain to Greece and back again, and in the cold of winter it was completed in Tucson, Arizona. Same size book at yesterday but this one is landscape format so I can do panoramas like the one of the Acropolis in Athens (below). You’ll see the full sketch in the video.

    Please do more! I think seeing sketchbooks is not only inspiriting, but also shows us how an artist thinks, what they look at, and little things that are humble, reminding us that al painters – ourselves included – are human and not always producing perfect work.

    The sketch iBook is SO special,,!!! Thank you for sharing. Learning so much from you Shari. One day I’ll get to a live course but in the meantime keep pumping out the online courses. Says I who isn’t doing the amazing amount of work to produce them get them online. Truly appreciated. Irene

    Beautiful! I’m so inspired, I watched it three times and I’m not done yet. I just came back from Hawaii and I thought that I liked my palm tree paintings until I looked at yours. I learned so much. I’m not making them solid-looking enough or not creating enough mass. Thank you so much.

  18. Elaine mcGann says:

    Thanks so much for posting this on you tube for those of us who are not on instagram. Your wonderful sketchbooks, whether at home or on the road, are so instructive and inspiring. Sometimes I hesitate to start a sketchbook because I doubt I can create anything worthwhile. Now I want to try! Thanks!
