More Sketchbook.......

I started to work in sketchbooks daily about five years ago. My grandmother left me all her art supplies including ephemera so I made a simple, little journal to honor her memory. But after that, I started exploring a topic that I had previously discounted for myself - art journaling. Then, I started my daily practice of art. As I look at my older drawings, I realized that practice may not make them all perfect but they are definitely starting to get better.

The below was started more than twenty years ago and I updated about five years ago. I think I might of just threw the yellow on to see what the color looked like. I also used salt and watercolor on her dress.The bird was also just a blob of paint that looked like a bird so I finished it to that effect.


 The below is the reverse of the above, meaning the above image bled through the paper and I just drew in the lines so the pages are somewhat similar. Sometimes, I like the bleed through otherwise, I just cover it up with paper or craft paint. 


Until the next time,
