“Sketchbooks are a place for experimentation, self reflection, technical practice, and developing an artistic identity,” says Keith Pfeiffer, official sketchbook class instructor. (To be cheeky, we called it Advanced Doodling.) I asked Keith what his favorite sketchbook was. Here is what he said:
“My favorite sketchbook is Moleskine sketchbook 9×12. The paper is smooth enough for clean pen drawings but enough tooth for graphite as well. The paper is tough and withstand some painting. Can be expensive though.”
“Canson XL mixed media 9×12 is a cheaper option. Its paper has a bit more tooth and it is strong enough to be painted in.” – Keith Pfeiffer
“I took the Zoom shortie Procreate tutorial with Keith Pfieffer and it was so fun. Keith has an energetic and organized way of teaching. I worked on my iPad along with him, and because of the ability to talk in real time to my host/teacher I could ask a question and get an answer immediately. Keith loves sharing his knowledge, and he’s upbeat. He was like a dose of sunshine! After the tutorial I spent hours experimenting. I highly recommend Keith as an instructor, regardless of skill level. He is a perfect teacher for this time we are in.” – Wendy Lumsdaine

I went to Smith & Vallee Gallery to pick up what was left of my show after sales. It was a rewardingly small collection, just a few pieces left. There is one painting that I can’t believe is still here – one of my personal favorites. It received compliments from the gallery owner, and was …
I never stop being inspired by art and ideas—they’re always there, bouncing around on my desk, waiting to be shared. After a long pause of wishing I were publishing, I’m tentatively restarting. V. Notes will be different this time: smaller, more in-the-moment—little ideas pulled straight from my desk, shared when time and energy allow. A …
Last week I talked about different methods of linear perspective. The challenge was to draw something using inverse perspective, in which objects that are farther away are drawn larger than what is up close, as seen in Byzantine, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian artworks. (My apologies for not including India’s use of multiple perspectives in the …
