Sketchbooks

I was the speaker at our September meeting with my sketchbooks.
This was a PowerPoint presentation but I brought a large collection of sketchbooks for everyone to peruse through after the talk.  They certainly generated a lot of interest.  So much so that I said that I would do a mini workshop at our November practical evening on printing and creating print blocks.

My earliest example of artwork that I still have is from 1965 when I was 16. It is a Christmas Card design and was for a national competition for Christian Aid and I got second place and received a book written by one of the judges. The book has long since bitten the dust but I still have the card.

                                         

          

   
     Once I started City and Guilds it became much more abstract and much more fun!!
   
  
  
As a member of Preston Threads my more recent sketchbook work is related to our current theme. Most recently it was on colour and my colour was yellow.
