As an oil painter I do something similar. I take an 11"x14" canvas and do 4 small sketches on it. All from the same location. I change the format in each sketch from rectangle to square to long horizontal and long vertical. Sometimes I turn 90 degrees with each sketch. I also time myself only allowing 15 minutes max.Robert J.

I have to remember you have years of experience behind them. :)<br />It brings a question to my mind that I have been meaning to ask.<br />I enjoy going to estate sales and picking up old art supplies, books and such. Some have been homes of illustrators or artists that have left behind old sketches, comps or finished art that they or the family didn’t want. It makes me think what will happen to my old work after I’m gone. Will an old sketchbook find a new home on the shelf of a family member, sold off in an estate sale or end up in the trash? If sold off, what is the dollar value of an old sketch of an unknown artist? Then what about all my digital art on a hard drive, CD or memory stick that is not posted on the internet or published in print? What value do they have? I don’t foresee Antiques Roadshow 2074 pricing out old digital media files. Do art schools inherit donated works and ephemera from alumni who didn’t know what to do with all their old stuff?<br />You must have hundreds or thousands of sketches, finished drawings & paintings and digital media accumulated. What are your thoughts on traditional and digital media after the artist passes on? <br />Thanks for continuing to share your wealth of knowledge and experience, and I apologize if this question has any morbid tinge to it.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706660706844877504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-22513962218256394532014-10-17T15:31:56.760-04:002014-10-17T15:31:56.760-04:00Nice work James.
