I am excited!
I LOVE participating in the Sketchbook Revival!
One might even say that the reason my blog posting dropped off ten years ago, or so, can be blamed on the first Sketchbook Revival that I followed. In 2018 I happened upon the Sketchbook Revival. Seeing the videos posted each day opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about sketchbooks an sketching. Up to that point I really thought of them, and had a few myself, with some rough pencil sketches. Nothing unusual about them! But, the artists showcased in the revival showed me new, unusual, artful ways of using a sketchbook, and I was hooked. Here are a few pictures of some of my sketchbook pages from the past:
The guest artists from the revival demonstrated many different styles of 'sketchbooks' and art. Some strictly use pencils, others invite collage and the use of mixed media. I enjoyed 'sketching' with watercolor and ink.
I practiced a lot in 2018 and took a sketchbook and tiny watercolor set with me to Europe. I sketched images from our riverboat trip that year. That sketchbook is now such a great souvenir of our trip. I enjoy looking back through it...kinda like looking back through blog posts!
