I’ve been doing a lot of this lately since my time in Ireland… scribbling in coffee shops.

My little pocket size journal is filling up with graphite faces and it’s a practice that I find completely soothing. It helps me stay connected to being creative when my paints aren’t easily in reach. It also helps me keep my eye in because I draw freehand, sometimes with a reference and sometimes without. If I start with a reference, I will soon lose it and allow each piece to lead it’s own way intuitively.
