Small Sketchbook March - November 2008
Marc TrujilloThis is a small sketchbook I carried with me. Keeping sketchbooks is important to me , and I enjoy it, so I usually have one on me. I had it made for me by a Jane Shibata, who I teach with. The paper is Lana 90 pound hot press which I like because it’s a little softer than Arches which makes it more receptive to dry media as well. All the work in the sketchbook is from direct observation, some it it from other works of art when I visit museums. The study on this page is in gouache over an acrylic ground I put on some of the pages. I like this technique as it allows me to get down some color notes and to make little paintings on site almost anywhere, like on a plane. I tape off the edges most of the time to make a clean composition.
