I've started using colored pens in my sketchbook now.

I bought this Mossery sketchbook at the end of 2017 but I have been able to use it just now...a lot of things happened in this 2018, I can hopefully start painting full time soon!

Two addictions in one picture; knitting and sketchbook fiddling.

sketchbook collage

Landscape near Ardington, Oxfordshire.Charcoal pencil and chalk.

Today I finished sketchbook 277. It starts 25 August 2020 and ends 21 June 2021. It begins and ends with café Le Sélect drawings. The café closed at the beginning of November for six and a half months due to Covid. At first I lost all desire to draw. I finally forced myself to draw from photos from my books and I went through my “doodle” stage. When the weather got a little nicer I found myself hanging out at the Cimetière du Montparnasse. First taking a series of photos of what people left on graves and then I started drawing there. Now I am back at the café and very happy to be drawing there again. All I can say, and I think that I am speaking for everyone, it has been a very long year!

2020 sketchbook selection

this is a sneaky peek at an unfinished sketchbook...blogged.

I started off with Cathy’s suggestion to paint some pages, so I used up some gouache on my palette from a previous session. While I was waiting for them to dry, I started experimenting with the Gelli Plate… I had been wanting to try it with soft pastels and it was quite fun but as a result of experimenting I didn’t finish the day with any finished work.

Project 365 - Day 46

 

I haven't really worked with charcoal before and because we're going to be using it a lot in my art class, I thought I'd do some experimenting with it in my sketchbook.

Sanguine drawings

My sketchbook was looking at me with sad eyes lately, so I spent some time this weekend doing a few new pages.

 

I've used:

 

- Sakura Micron pen 005 in black and brown

- Colored pencils

- Gold gouache

- Transparent stickers

- A vintage French stamp

- Pieces of magazine pages for the girls' dresses.

- Sequins that my mom and sister got me from Iran.

Dinking around in my sketchbook some more, trying to get a balance between the thin straight cattails in the foreground and the tangled mass behind them... Playing around with different techniques. What do you think?
