I think as regards sketch books its a case of doing what comes naturally. No point in trying to make something contrived. I like your approach and it says a lot about your character. Maybe collate things a bit better in sequence in books. I have always loved the diaries of Peter Beard, the way he amalgamates the written word and collaged images. <br />Ian Sidawaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-33939575553181687102014-01-16T23:09:51.827-05:002014-01-16T23:09:51.827-05:00I am so happy you shared some pages!!!!

We have a library with an amazing collection of rare books and I was very surprised the first time I visited that they don't make you wear gloves, but only wash your hands. I'd heard about the oils, too. But they said people are more likely to damage pages with clumsy gloves on et viola! <br />I am in the habit of doing both: working in a "sketchbook" and on scraps of paper, too. You are right. The darn scraps hide in the weirdest places while I spend forever trying to find them. But it hardly matters; I am not in the Delacroix category! <br />PS love Sidaway's blog and often wonder how long a page takes with all his line work.Jeanette, Mistress of Longearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815875437992974233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-50751243930937570292014-01-16T21:50:28.311-05:002014-01-16T21:50:28.311-05:00You CAN draw Sukicart!

How special for you to see and touch Delacroix's sketchbooks. They're beautiful objects in their own right. What a skill it is that you can draw and paint so beautifully too.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/pamplemousse-dreams.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-90060902631086857812014-01-16T13:02:07.761-05:002014-01-16T13:02:07.761-05:00This post makes me want to carry around a sketchbo...This post makes me want to carry around a sketchbook and try my hand at being atn artist.

I really love the fluidity your drawings on scraps.<br /><br />I know what you mean about using scraps but there is something about a sketchbook that can sometimes be imposing, the pristine pages taunting you not to make a mistake. Where a scrap of paper has more freedom as it isn't 'best' and there is no commitment. <br /><br />Last night I pritt sticked a few scraps in an old sketchbook. It felt wonderfully organised-maybe there is hope for me yet!

I am guilty of not always having a sketchbook, then I draw on napkins in a cafe I go to to write in or squeeze drawings into my purse agenda book.
