Sketchbook

I am continuing to work in my sketchbook.  I do try to do a few minutes a day but have not always found this possible.  It was difficult during the first few weeks of the course to get into a properly organised system of working.  This was very frustrating as I am normally a very organised person. However, I think as the weeks go on and I start to find my way I will get into a system that suits me.

Some more pages from my sketchbook.  I am trying to work in my book daily but all the best laid plans...  Of course life can get in the way and unfortunately we have had a terrible flood in the house and many rooms and furnishings have been damaged.  My workroom being one of them.  I am working out of packing cases but on the bright side I cannot do much else so hoping to get more course work done after the initial tidy up and the invasion of builders, decorators and carpet fitters.  If nothing else it will encourage me to work with what I can get my hands on easily!

In the feedback from my tutor on Assignment 1 were a few book suggestions to possibly help inspire my sketchbook work.  I have found a couple of the books and looking through them I see that I could experiment more with my art work and colour my pages more especially to carry it through to textile work.  I think I will start to use an A5 sketchbook alongside this A4 one and see how my work progresses in that size book.  I am flitting about a bit with regard to inspiration at the moment and am drawing a different subject each day.  I haven't settled on one particular theme yet but I thik this is a good thing for me at the moment and I am enjoying seeing a subject properly rather than just looking.
