Dog in Acrylics and Sketchbook Revival

Acrylic Painting - Dog

I did this by watching an Angela Anderson video on UTube. I didn't like it when I had first done it but it's grown on me.

Sketchbook Revival

Day 4, session 2: Concertina Fun: Make a fun mini concertina book with Karen Stamper

Day 6, session 2 with Helen Wells. Expressive Sketchbooks: Seeking inspiration outside.

I used small sticks and the end of a feather to draw these with  ink. I used photographs of interesting trees for inspiration. I think this has been my favourite session so far.

I used two of the stick drawings to make a pocket in an altered book.

The pocket holds an altered postcard.

Day 5, session 1. Robyn McClendon - Altered Book as a sketchbook.

Day 7, session 1 with David Drazil

Drawing Perspective Made Easy

This one is 5 point perspective

Day 7, session 2 with Trupti Karjinni

Watercolour Summer Landscape

Day 8, session 1 - Shelley Klammer

The History and Practice of Automatic Drawing

I think you can still join in with these sessions if anyone is interested.

Happy Paint Party Friday!

 

New Sketchbooks

I couldn't resist a good offer for a pile of sketchbooks. They'll keep me going for a while, eh?

Sketchbook Shelves and Kokeshi Cushion

I changed a little space in my work room to add a couple of shelves for some of my smaller sketchbooks handmade books and altered books.

I made another cushion with the other fat quarter of my Spoonflower fabric featuring kokeshi dolls. This one is a different pattern but has the same dolls featured on it. The last one was quilted but I left this one as it was. Could do with a bigger cushion pad though.
