Iain Stewart: High Level Sketching Video

Artists know that one of the best places to record what you see and feel is in your sketchbook. The relaxation it brings is meditative. You are free to do anything in your private sketchbooks — experiment, be inventive, try new techniques, create whole new worlds within its pages.

Award-winning artist Iain Stewart enjoyed this freedom so much that he began to paint right in his sketchbook.

Iain became so passionate about painting in his sketchbook that he decided to take it to a higher level, asking, "What if you could work on a studio painting using this same method and mindset?"

It may sound strange, but his unconventional approach is winning him shows and events!

Not only is he going to prove that it’s possible for you…
