I thought it would be fun to share my sketchbook pages every few months. Firstly to have a place to catalogue them, and secondly to see how I’m working and being influenced. Hope you find it interesting!
This month I have really enjoyed sketching over pre-painted pages, there’s something about having a painterly background that presents both a challenge and excitement to the sketching process. I would really like to explore this more so will paint more backgrounds in my sketchbooks and see how it pushes my work.

Wonderful sketch book tour, Mel! Thank you so very much for sharing. These are all inspirational, and it's lovely to think that I have 'been with you' whilst you have done at least one of them! Please keep motivating us with your wonderful art work! x
I am really enjoying this blog format. It's great to be able to see your sketches up close to sudy the marks and layers. I hope you do a whole series of abstracts inspired by your local birds.
