DRAWING AND PAINT

Sketching is different from painting

Above about why sketching is different from painting.

Because the result is more immediate, I never spend more than one session on a sketch and rarely go back to adjust it later. This makes sketching more like a musical practice session. Before starting, I decide what new technique or criteria I want to work on...color harmony, focal point, mood, perspective, source of light...right now, you can tell from my previous tips, I am working on composition and hope that establishing the darks first may be helpful. When painting, there are a lot of things to consider and one must address them all at once. With sketching, the process and not the result, is what is important. So with each specific sketch, I can concentrate on getting one thing right...warm or cool colors, line quality, scale, soft or crisp edges, foreground vs. background. You know the list.
