So I finally came to the end of the sketchbook! Ninety three pages, ninety three consecutive days of art, which I hasten to add was not the assumed outcome!

I mixed my styles and my materials, as is my way, played and experimented, and with the support and encouragement of some lovely Instagram and Facebook friends, and the flexible container of ‘let’s see what happens’, I filled the whole sketchbook!

I am quite surprised.

Here is a selection from the final couple of weeks of the sketchbook project. For the rest, see: One, Two, Three, Four, Five

day 82 ~ oil pastels : these are by Mungyo and are inexpensive and gorgeously creamy and easy to blend with your finger. win.

day 88 ~ soft pastels. it was super sunny that day and i was on the beach for ages; i didn’t plan this but it interestingly reflected my day and my mood

day 89 ~ started as a very clear idea. went off on a major tangent and a very long ugly phase ensued. in the end i quite liked it though

day 91 ~ Neocolors. I really love these ‘vertical stripes’ ones {there have been a few}. something to explore on canvas perhaps.

day 93 ~ last day! oil pastels. mildly freaked myself out with pressure to do something good, then decided not to bother with that. πŸ™‚

Yay! And, done. Thanks so much for the support and enthusiasm for the project – without your comments {wherever you left them!} it would’ve been much harder and much less fun.
