A Pre-Paint Script for Plein Air and Studio Work
Wonder first. Then paint.
What if your next painting could become clearer before the brush ever touched the surface?
Wonder Walking is a free eight-page field booklet that helps you slow down, notice what matters, and begin with a reason. Its simple pre-paint routine is built around Design, Story, and Freshness: find what holds the painting together, decide what it is about, and protect the life in your marks.
The guide also turns Mark Sanborn’s seven ways to add value toward the artist’s walk: Better. Faster. Cheaper. Different. Less. More. Fun.
What might the trail help you see better? What could you paint with less? What becomes possible when fun returns?
Inside, you’ll also find twelve prompts from the Fairview Finder Story Check, an unexpected Philippians 4:8 exercise for painters, a reflection on wonder and imagination, and space to capture what worked while the paint is still wet.
You don’t need to use every question. Take the one that wakes up your attention and carry it into the next painting.
Download it. Fold it. Keep it in your paint box.
The eye shapes the brush.
Free digital download.
Printing instructions: Print at actual size on standard 8.5 × 11-inch paper in landscape orientation. Select double-sided printing and “Flip on short edge.” Keep the two sheets in their printed order and fold them together down the center.
No physical product will be shipped.
