sketchbook sunday


And I'm back in the room already.... (well kind of)..... here are pages from my painting sketchbook. I've recently started to put together this black-paged spiral book as a home to all those small and tiny paintings, colour studies, ideas for paintings that I may or may not have a chance to work bigger. One day when I have a dedicated paint studio, who knows.... In the meantime, I have this book of gouache samplers.


I'm almost finished working on the layout for my forthcoming zine/book 'Dreamers' (yes it now has a title). I hope to have the book ready for my shop update next week.

I love sketchbooks, I love studies - and the little painting on the left side!

little paintings are very fine.

LOVE STITCHING RED said...

How exciting a new zine! Look forward to that!
Love a black background/sketchbook. I've worked on black before and it really sets off the colours and textures. Great idea! Hope you have a really lovely week ahead

Love the pieces from your painting sketchbook. These are very mystical. I love the light.
