![]() What amazes me about Yvan is his ability to do 30-second sketches, 2-minute sketches, 20-minute sketches, 2-hour sketches, and pieces of fine art requiring multiple sessions and many hours. I learned this concept from Yvan Breton, the guy who has taught me more than anyone else about drawing. For lack of a term for this trick, I’ll call it time-result flexibility. As I look at what I do and how I do it, I see that there is a ‘trick’ to fitting sketching into a busy schedule, whether it be by wandering the city as a street sketcher or sitting at home doing sketching at the kitchen table. ![]() Unless you’re making your living as a fine artist, few could make that claim. I sketch almost every day, often more than once a day. There is truth to our claim but, on some level we exaggerate, as when many of us sketch a complex scene, or simply a sketch with lots of detail, we can burn away a couple hours without problem, and many a fine art piece is created in the same amount of time.īut, nevertheless, what we say is true. ![]() We emphasize the point by quoting the many laments from fine artists about not having time to do their art. We contrast it to creating fine art and the need for large blocks of time. ![]() One thing that many of us who sketch on location talk about is how much easier it is to fit sketching into a busy schedule.
