I used QoR Green Gold, Mission Gold Permanent Rose, Daniel Smith Cerulean Blue Chromium, and QoR Paynes Gray. I enjoy the challenge of only using four colors. I suppose the other thing to note here was that I chose to stick with a limited palette through the entire sketchbook. If you would like a more in-depth review of this sketchbook, click here. I think if you ever feel frustrated with yourself because you can never seem to fill a sketchbook, try to get one that has very few pages – you can fill it quickly that way, and maybe that will give you a little “can-do” motivation for sketchbooks with more pages. I think another reason why I liked this sketchbook was because it didn’t have a lot of pages. That said, I feel the painting of my cat successfully executed this. If you’re familiar with my work, I usually tend to do fairly detailed stuff (take my iPhone painting I did in this sketchbook – photo further down in the post.) Backing off and trying to allow the mind to fill in the blanks instead of actually mapping out every little detail is challenging for me. I think this is also why I find landscapes challenging, too. It becomes that familiar issue of figuring out what details to include and what to exclude. Painting animals intimidates me, mostly it’s because of the fur, and when they have a lot of color variances, stripes, spots, etc, my head goes into overload. I think my absolute favorite painting in the book is the one I did of my sleeping cat. I feel like the prompts for the World Sketchbook Month challenge also helped me try different things and maybe stuff that wasn’t my norm. I tell you, when I stick to a monthly challenge and make it a point to try to not miss too many days, it has a significant impact on how quickly I fill a sketchbook.Īll in all, I enjoyed working in this sketchbook. I can thank September’s World Sketchbook Month for helping me fill this sketchbook so fast. I’m grateful to share another completed sketchbook with you. While small, any amount of money helps me to keep making art and sharing it with the world.ĭoing the happy dance here today.
