| Gouache painting done in my sketchbook |
The hardest thing about starting a painting is knowing I
only have a short amount of time to paint. It’s very difficult to break away
from the work and go on with the rest of my day. I wish this was something I
could do seven days a week.
On the week days, if I manage to get up early in the
morning, (about 3 A.M.) I’ll have 3 hours in which to work before I head out
for my 9 to 5. In the evening I can steal a couple of hours, but in either case
it’s hard to do an oil painting or watercolor knowing I have to leave or stop soon.
So during the week I try to fill that time with in between stuff. Little
gouache sketches, pen and ink, pencil drawings, etc. Sometimes they may be
things I want to paint latter but mostly random stuff most of which gets tossed
out.

| This self portrait in oil I did on the weekend |
The main goal of these in-between sketches is to keep me
prepared for the weekend where I can devote more time to painting.
