One of the sketchbooks I use to collage onto is an upcycled baby board book. Drew Steinbrecher was the inspiration for this neat idea!
Drew has an excellent free tutorial over on his website with great tips on how he uses the baby board books.

Yes it’s good when you’re waiting for pages to dry 😀

What fun working with several books at once. ❤ This helps to stay loose, 😊 and no pressure in what I create… fun to see you work.

I loved watching this! But I’m excited that I understood your language, I’m new to abstraction and I could see the values and contrasts. Looking forward to learning more from you!

Marvellous thank you! I can hear you 'thinking' :) I've never used a sketchbook ...I seem to want to dive straight into a finished piece, not just play which sets up perfection issues 🙃Looking forward to the second part!

Oh thanks! Glad it was helpful to watch. Sketchbooks are so important to my practice! Often the best work happens in them as I’m not precious about them. I have photographed some pages and made prints in the past as they have that spontaneous feel which is sometimes hard to recreate on an expensive substrate for me 🤔

I’m so sorry Jennie, I thought they went on automatically. I will check the settings today. I’m only talking in the first part of the video, the second part I decided not to as sometimes it’s difficult to get into a natural flow of creation when I’m talking to the camera 😀

Hi Jennie, the show transcript button is the 3 dots next to the share button, I think it may take a couple of days for this to appear? It’s on all my other videos and I haven’t done anything differently. Sorry I searched and can’t find a way to do this by myself. Fingers xd the option to read transcript appears soon 🤞
