What is a Sketch Hunter you ask? I came across this passage in Robert Henri's book 'The Art Spirit'......
"The sketch hunter has delightful days of drifting about among people, in and out of the city, going anywhere, everywhere, stopping as long as he likes - no need to reach any point, moving in any directionfollowingthe call of interests. He moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook. Like any hunter he hits or misses. He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture it. It's found anywhere, everywhere. those who are not hunters do not see these things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand - to enjoy."
I'd like to be a sketch hunter. For my September Goal I plan to carry my new moleskine pocket notebook so I can be on the hunt for things to sketch.
