There is something about the spontaneous creative process that comes through so clearly in sketchbook form that is many times lost in art that is more 'worked'.<BR/><BR/>I have stacks and stacks of sketches - many of them on tissue paper - scattered about. Which is my way of being spontaneous I suppose. I seem to have a much more formal relationship with my sketchbook, unfortunately. Something I hope to 'get over' some day!tlchanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259427561396960607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-7237562294551969272007-08-21T13:30:00.000-04:002007-08-21T13:30:00.000-04:00Your Sketchbooks are wonderful.I think I can recog...Your Sketchbooks are wonderful.<BR/>I think I can recognise the Florence typical waves-paper <BR/>;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-69501774646394678622007-08-21T12:28:00.000-04:002007-08-21T12:28:00.000-04:00I love this post, and the preavious one about your...I love this post, and the preavious one about your sketchbooks.

The smells, the sounds, the atmosphere of that day,and more debth if your good at it. I have always been drawn to anything to do with sketching,& have been trying my hand at it.
