The Landscape chapter 13
TIP
This drawing of some boats in the water was most likely drawn in about 90 seconds, while the artist was on a
painting trip. The drawing might have been the beginning of a larger drawing or painting, or simply a feeling of
light and movement that the artist wanted to capture. It is highly recommended that you carry a small sketchbook
with you at all times, and when something catches your eye, for whatever reason, you should make a record of it.
It is one of the best ways to train your hand to respond to visual stimuli, and a wonderful way to gather ideas for
future works or simply to keep a visual journal of your experiences.Monhegan Boats,by Leonard Moskowitz, courtesy of the artist
