the art of the sketchbook
Why sketchbooks are the best: 1. a place to do visual research 2. a place to test out new ideas/materials 3. record where you’ve been and what you’ve done 4. you can carry it with you & keeps everything in one place 5. you can always paint/collage over it (it’s never RUINED) 6. you never have to call it “finished” if you don’t want to
