Studio Series: Sketchbook collages

Eight months of intense studio production have left me with a need to refill the well. I'm reviewing old sketchbooks and filling new ones, I'm seeing old places with new eyes and exploring new places.

When I took Sandra Brownlee's Tactile Notebooks and the Written Word workshop in 2011, I learned to prepare sketchbook pages with colour. In a "use up old supplies" effort, I tinted pages with old inks and watercolours. What a difference a coloured background makes!
