sketchbook project 2011

The Sketchbook Project: 2011

I’m very excited about this project. I read about it some time ago so finally decided to just DO IT! I sent away for my sketchbook and it arrived last week.


My sketchbook theme is “Down Your Street.” Down MY street will be a very short sketchbook since my “street” is only two blocks long. I’m looking forward to the challenge though. Thinking outside the box (or block in my case) will be a good thing for my old brain.

So far I’ve just sketched out some patterns and made a stamp for the end paper. At least I’ve started on it. That’s something I guess. Only 40 pages to go.


I’m a little nervous about the paper in the book. It’s very thin. Very. Very. Thin. I’m used to working on watercolor paper. I read online about several people who took the book apart and inserted watercolor paper in their book. I could do that I suppose but I think I’ve convinced myself to just work with what I have and make that part of the challenge.
