SKETCHBOOKING IN OILS, CLEAN & SIMPLE by TOM BROWN

Sketchbooking is a great way to record the world we live in. I like sketching with OILS because the colors remain true, wet or dry. And they’re so easy to work with. The system I use is compact, clean and simple; there’s never a mess. Even when bringing back fresh oil sketches. And they look great in frames whenever I get a “keeper.” Like this one I did yesterday on a quiet neighborhood street. It was an overcast day, but I saw the beauty in the setting and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to capture it in a painting. This is a 5x7 oil on Bristol, and I think this one will look stunning in the right frame. Hope you agree.

This is another of my sketchbook pieces. I love using oil paints in my sketchbooks. Many artists don’t realize the advantages of sketchbooking with oils. But I have a system that makes it clean and simple. No muss, no fuss. Just plain FUN.
     It’s my private place to do whatever I want. Play, or practice, or sketch the world around me.
     Many of my sketchbook pieces have found their way into elegant frames and are displayed in my home or on my collectors’ walls.
     Most people aren’t aware that the old masters often did studies on paper or cardboard too. Many of those studies are over 100 years old, and are still proudly displayed in important museums around the world.
     So when I get a “keeper” I like to share it. Hope you like this one.
