painting in a journal
Hey there fellow artists!
Just want to tell you all about the fabulous journals available from John Purcell Papers
They have 50 sheets of Saunders Waterford 200lb paper in a hardback stitch bound book. They come in a4 anda3 sizes and are fantastic for sketching.
they cost about 14 pounds sterling
I take them with me when I go teaching or painting on the continent and have done so for many years, with the result that I now have a huge amount of reference for those rainy irish days.
the one tip I would give is just to say
DON'T BE PRECIOUS ABOUT YOUR JOURNAL
they are fabulous but a journal is a place for you to grow and develope
to make mistakes,and learn from them , it's not a showpiece that you have to stress out over
happy painting
Annemarie

Thanks for that
a great idea ......think I will try it too
I find also on a watercolour class that I encourage students to bring a journal so if I want to show them something I do it in their journal
the advantages are that they have these relevant notes at home and they build a book sorting out their individual problems
also they can have a practise before they do it in their painting and this builds confidence
it also means that the finished work is all done by themselves
