Back at the beginning of this year Sylvia kindly sent me one of her folding sketch books. I thought for a long time how to best use it, and decided pre lockdown that I would fill one of the eight surfaces per week for local scenes from the start of March. On March 5th I had to go to London to be with my daughter when she was in hospital for just over a week, and by the time I returned home, the world had changed! No chance of going round the village/s as planned. However the morning hour of exercise kicked in and I usually had a small sketch book in my pocket and started capturing scenes around the next village.
My intention was to have a cohesive picture which could be viewed as a whole and as individual pages with an overlap. It’s mixed media of watercolour, pens, felt pens, inktense blocks and drawing ink, basically whatever I could throw at it!
I might try making a concertina sketchbook next.
Oops managed to add one x2 and don’t know how to delete!
