i'm sitting still and studying the bouquet of peonies i've got on my desk. endless drawing possibilities!
i'll get some more this weekend. maybe some big vanilla blooms this time!
i'm thinking this charming little board book might be the cover of my next travel journal…
the inside pages are full of lush botanicals that i will enjoy painting & drawing onto the pages of my sketchbook!
i'm having a 15% off sale on ALL these classes through the weekend, till june 2. you have to click/enter the discount coupon code MAY15OFF at checkout in order for it to take effect.
GREAT CHOICE!
I see. I thought you used the whole book and altered it. It will make a yummy journal cover. Since this is a board book will you be able to use the inner pages/boards as book covers for other journals? They are so nice and would be lovely.
hi meredith,
i don’t usually paint over or alter my bookcovers. i use as is. to me the purpose of recycling an old book that’s gathering dust is to celebrate the lovlieness of its covers…which i’ll get to look at and admire everytime i open this travel journal. which. will be. a lot!
Oooo, that looks like a very cool book. Do you ever have trouble painting over and altering an interesting book like that? I have to chose one that I like the shape, size and paper but hate the text/pictures before I can “deface” it. I guess I love books too much.
Beautiful sketches!
You are making me so itching to sketch and paint again….oh..I love , love, love your paintings! I love how loose they are! I need to loosen up!
