In March-June 2020 I created a sketchbook full of art made from odds and ends I had saved. The book has no words, just pictures. I am showing you the whole book, two facing pages at a time. The book was finished in June. I made it to help myself feel better as I passed through the early days of the pandemic.
Here are the project’s specifics.The book is a mixed media sketchbook that’s 5.5″ x 7.5″. I used collage materials including magazine pages and scraps of my own discarded artworks, as well as acrylic paints and inks, India ink, and pens, regular brushes, and bamboo brushes.
Here are the pages as they appear in the book:
Here is a more detailed look at the images.
I like this very much!! What a great idea!
Thank you. It was fun to do and I enjoyed going through leftovers from other projects and finding a way for them to work together!
I love how those houses ended up having subtle facial expressions, at least in my view!
Thank you. And you are right. I see it too, not just in these but in pretty much every house – I have always thought they had expressions. But then I also believe houses have spirits or souls, too, so it makes sense to me!
Your sketches are always so fun to look at!
Thank you. Sketchbooks are nice to have, you can always be putting a little something on paper and they are easy to store.
