That was such a good read, I felt I was there with you look out on the woods. I'm actually about to go on a hike so this is the motivation I needed to go paint outside and just capture the moment. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I look forward to your next news letter.

Harry, Stan here. Stan Josselyn on instagram. Just today I discovered your Substack. Follow you on instagram. (For a whole week now!) I also sketch in my car often. Nearly every day using gouache. I noticed that you have paint in a Tupperware tray. Is that correct? Seems a great idea.

Hi Stan. Yes, that is Tupperware and I use that for my small acrylic paintings. My last substack mailing is on that topic….how I’m using that palette.

Thanks for sharing this insight! I’ve just started to draw again more, and I notice me getting very worked up with my perfectionism. So this insight is helping tremendously!

I don't do details...I do some big stuff, some middle sized stuff, and some small stuff... :)

Thank you, Pat! I started as someone who drew more than painted...so that will never stop. :)
