Draw with whatever you have on hand ...

In the chapter Drawing For Painting, Drawing In Life (August, 2015) I show my first rough sketch of the idea for "Whale Dream". I would like to say how organized I am with my sketchbooks, but truth be told, I have a variety of sketchbooks and journals with different sizes and papers scattered around my house in various bags and on different shelves. And, though I encourage my students to always carry a sketchbook with them, at times I find myself drawing on cafe napkins or in my agenda book.
