SKETCHBOOKS 2

This second group of  pages is from more recent  sketchbooks: A5 and A6 size. Many of the double page spreads have had to be cropped to fit when scanning.

 

I use the small A6 books a lot these days; they are an ideal size to slip easily into a pocket and can be used unobtrusively where necessary - chiefly in cafes!  They have become constant companions and form a kind of visual diary; these drawings are often done for the sheer pleasure of doing them. I don't use the big books so much these days unless I am pretty sure I'm going to make use of the drawing in a landscape painting. 

 

Drawing remains a constant source of joy for me.  Long may it last.
