Working in my sketchbook

I have made several small sketchbooks, that I can easily carry with me. They are only 16 pages long, so they are very easy to complete.

I love the ability to finish the book quite quickly. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and that makes me want to start the next book.

If I really don’t like a drawing, then I just glue a fresh piece of paper over the parts that I don’t like. So I don’t worry about ugly drawings or mistakes.

I am thinking that maybe I will bind some of the small books into a larger book. For now I am just having some fun drawing the every day like:

  • breakfast
  • tea pots
  • pens and drawing tools
  • farmers market
  • skylines and
  • scenes from my window

I did buy a new watercolor set and it is taking some getting used to. The paint is much richer than my grade school set that I had been using.
