The Artistic Power of Sketchbooks with Steve Griggs (Mini Ep.113)
When I say sketchbook, you might be thinking of a book with thin paper where you’d use a graphite pencil to draw.And that absolutely IS a sketchbook. But when guest Steve Griggs talks about sketchbooks he means a book filled with watercolor paper, which he uses for everything, drawing, painting, thinking and maybe most importantly developing ideas.In this mini episode, you’ll get practical tips for different ways to use a sketchbook. You’ll learn how to walk through the development of an idea to go deeper and you’ll explore how to push past that blank page with a NEW sketchbook.Learn more about Steve Griggs here:WEBSITE / WORKSHOPS / YOUTUBE / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK----- Art Habit Bootcamp -----Ready to build a consistent art habit?
