I set my local art club a challenge for February, a sketch-a-day. I started out simply to create some observational drawings of whatever came to hand. But a lot more has come out of this project. Firstly, It's a visual diary that becomes a collection of experiences and reminders.
Another aspect that has emerged is the ideas for further project and different ways of working. In this simple sketch of the kitchen equipment and ingredients I had out, after making ice cream, led me to thinking about using egg shell as a texture base for a more finished painting, as I have experimented using sand and other texture mediums, this is something I may well develop.
I have also added papers and colours I've found interesting, that I've come across this week.
I will post again with an update of how the sketchbook is progressing..... We all know we should keep a sketchbook... And it's great to rediscover how enjoyable it is.
