Each painting has the related art journal page attached to the back
Before I leave the location where I have painted that day, I take notes in my art journal. I record why I chose to paint a particular subject, the mood that I wanted to convey, and any details that I may have picked up while painting. Sometimes, I overhear conversations and add those to the notes. I close each entry with a sidebar list of oil paint colors and brands that were used.
