✏️ 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.”

✅ Final Tip: 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.
