Walter Logeman: Journal
Going to this exhibit at the Gallery of Modern Art just before the psychodrama conference really warmed me up to Matisse, or more accurately to doing my own sketching.
More images follow. I’ll put up another post with Matisse drawings I found on the net.
Just stumbled on this from a few years ago. as I’m reviewing my flickr items. Not sure if I’ve ever linked to this image here, but I just like it! I’m up here at Mt Lyford at the moment and have been looking at these hills today.
I’ve made a set of these cards: Here on Flickr

This is an early sketch in my ThousandSketches – I recall being delighted how it captured my intention!

And I’m back on Flickr – tried Zenphoto but it does not have all the functionality, and upgrading it is hard, and I think it let the hack attack into my server. So, I’ll let yahoo do it. And I have copies in Aperture.
Its a long time ago but I thought it was a great little event at the San Francisco Apple store.
Came away with links to two artists I particularly enjoyed.
Julia Kay who has a portraitparty on flkr
Helene Goldberg .
I like these, and most of his work. There is a sense of line texture and colour that I like. His smoothing of the world and boldness. It is these qualities I seek in my work.
I’ve been doodling on the iPad, inspired by some Edvard Munch landscapes that I’ll post up in a moment. Nothing really looked right though till I passed my sketch through the Instagram app.
By painting colors and lines and forms seen in quickened mood I was seeking to make this mood vibrate as a phonograph does. This was the origin of the paintings in The Frieze of Life.
Edvard Munch

“Cool Channels”
This brush stroke, there are a few apps that do it, is wonderfully sketchy, not at all computery, and like nothing in rl. That’s what fascinates me with it. Note Nothing like it in real life, you can’t buy a paint brush to do this, it is not an emulation. The apps it comes with are primitive, but that is ok.
Another similar doodle follows:
