Pages From My Sketchbook

This post is a little peak into my summer sketchbook I kept whilst I was in Villard de Lans last summer. Whenever I had a little bit of time, or saw something I really liked, out came the sketchbook! It's such a nice way to keep memories.

*I also managed to sneak in my beautiful super soft new blanket into a photo again. It's actually a scarf, but seeing as most blankets are over £100, and I am a student with a small part time job, this massive scarf was perfect for me! (It's from Zara if anyone wants one too.)





 Above is my little sketch of the view I had from my bedroom window & below is a pretty little shadow I found in a park which I traced & painted.


 

Above: My utterly delicious 'tarte aux mertilles'. (So difficult not to eat it whilst I was drawing...) And below is a little watercolour study I did whilst E & I paused in the shade during a walk.


HAPPY AUTUMN!! (my favourite time of the year)

    Beautiful sketches...I like your idea of mixed media with the dried flowers, photographs, and hand drawn sketches. Makes me want to start a new sketch book too. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Aw I love these! I really like that you sketch the same way that people would take photographs of things that catch their eye.
