Moleskine #14 - Part 1

 Moleskine fourteen is another watercolour sketchbook, in which I done a lot of swatching of watercolours to see what colour pallet looked good, as well as it was a bit of art therapy book. Six years in the making. Looking back through it I should make a note of which brand water I  used.

This was with Winsor and Newtons, Cotman water colours

playing around with an idea here, but it wasn't as good as it was in my head

This was with Cass art own brand watercolours. Indigo and Dioxazine purple. 

This was not ment to be good. It was me just relaxing and marking art after a long day at work.

This is in fact the first page of this book. If i remember right it was done with Rembrandt watercolours.

This was done with Cass art water colours. I had brought the set of twelve tubes and 3 other colours and was giving them a go.

Above and below are some more of me playing with ideas, which haven't really come to anything yet

Moleskine #13

Moleskine 13, unlucky for some…

This was 6 years in the making. Looking through it theres not a lot in here but it got to a point were I just wanted to say, thank you and good night to it, number it and put it on the shelf.

Don,t get me wrong there is a lot that in her that I like, but also a lot that I don,t like.

So lets see what we have….

Above we have post-it notes from leg avenue which i doddled on to create more details on the coueset, and an unfinished feather.

Again, above we have another corset with ink, I think I was testing the paper.

Above and below: are sketches form an evening of baby siting.

Below: are some zentangle images that I done during lockdown at the beginning in 2021

Below: Porta 6 is my favourite red wine so I had to put a take the label off of one of the bottles that I had had and stick it in here

Below: I here I was plying with some ink and a gold Posca pen, the image left and centre are pages near the font of the book.

Below: Here are the design sketches for Christmas cards for 2023

Below: left we have one of my lino prints, centre we have the wrappers from my Rosa Gallary water colour pains, and right we have me testing out some marker pens. 

Below left is a sketch that I done during the first lock down in 2020, I had planner to do a whole series of these, - maybe I still will. centre is the the ideas for my fan fiction piece that i wrote and is posted over on my creative writing site. sarahpatel.blogspot.com The Exorcist. And right are logo ideas for my sights. (may be one day I will get around to opening a Square space site and maybe try and make some money from all my work.) 

Below we have a bad image covered up with some craft paper and below that an image form a Unsplash reference

I got to a point where I just wanted this book finished and shelved as I was not really enjoying it. weather it was because if was a random sketchbook, and I normal have to a theme for each book.

Moleskine #012

Welcome to Moleskine number 12.

I started this sketchbook back on January 20th 2021, and finished it on July 9th 2023. (Yep it has taken me a while to get around to post this,  But here it is)

If I remember rightly we we in one of the many lockdowns that we had over the two years 

I enjoyed doing his one as it combines two of my styles and water colour. The Water colours that I used are from Roman Szmal, which come from Jackson Art. 

I love the granulating colours from this range as you can create some wonderful effects with them.
