1) I am a linocut printmaker who often depicts birds, however, you can't complete a lino out in the field as it takes a lot of time, elbow grease, and sharp tools! Watercolor is a medium that is much more immediate and portable, so I wanted to learn how to use this medium. 2) I appreciate the last sketcher's goals of trying to do one drawing a day or a month of drawings. I also appreciated how many sketchers were working out the logic of what they were observing on paper, rather than just appreciation--they seemed to be learning from what they were observing. 3) I've also been looking for a way to combine words and images together in my art. I'm hoping that along with my observations and notes, I can include word-play and poetry to go along with the sketches.
