This book presents a curated collection of on-location sketches created over a specific academic year. The artist, Paul Heaston, reproduces his work from a hot press watercolor sketchbook spanning from fall 2019 to spring 2020, with each piece executed using pen and ink.

This collection offers a direct look into an artist's practice during a defined period, showcasing the development and application of pen and ink sketching techniques in situ. The focus on on-location work suggests a commitment to observational drawing and capturing the essence of environments as they are experienced. The temporal framing provides a clear scope for the content, allowing readers to follow the artist's creative output across an academic year.
