A Place for Process Not Perfection
A Place for Process Not Perfection
All artists deserve a safe space to try out ideas without the pressure of having an audience.
Sketchbooks are books of blank thick paper where you can practice and develop your creative ideas.
Creativity is a process of bringing the invisible good that is within yourself into the visible world. Your sketchbook doesn't have to be a space for perfection. It's a place of growth.
In a sketchbook your initial marks don't have to be pretty, they just have to initiate the communication of your present ideas with your future self. You will fill your sketchbook full of ideas, sketches, plans for future artwork, doodles, exercises and notes.
