an Autumn sketchbook -- Vicky Williamson
Like most of us, I love the colors and textures of Autumn. Recently I made a sketchbook from a folded sheet of watercolor paper, just for sketching botanicals this season. I thought it would be a good example if I get to teach a botanical sketchbook workshop next spring in Wichita.
I've decided to use just ink, watercolor pencil, and watercolor crayons in this sketchbook.

a super idea and this is a stunner already!
ReplyDeleteSuper idea! Lovely start on this sketchbook! and THANKS for the idea of the cover -- I can use it for a class I'm taking at the moment. Thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours and a lovely memento of another Autumn gone past Vicky. I love having a lot of these sketchbooks around for different projects.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Vicky! I've seen this design using copy paper. I tried a sample but must not have folded it well enough. You've inspired me to try again :)
ReplyDeleteThis will be soooo great for a workshop!
Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeletePam, this one is pretty wonky when folded -- the pages don't align perfectly. But that's part of its charm, I guess. And the cover hides that!
