✏️ Sketchbook Reminder
Before moving to canvas:
Identify 3–4 strong shapes
Use wedges and arrows to guide the eye
Create diminishing vertical height for depth and movement
"Make it work in your sketchbook, and it will work on the canvas."
✅ The Core of the Practice
Every workshop is rooted in your core painting rhythm:
Self-assign a Task → Execute the task without thinking in as few brushstrokes as possible → Step back and assess what you did → Repeat
This system reinforces intuition, disciplined effort, and continuous growth—the true tools of a painter's development.
