Sketchbooks are my favourites too! I like to keep separate ones for different projects. At the moment, it goes like this:  I have one for experimenting with new techniques and art materials, one for sketching whatever catches my interest, one dedicated to colour palettes and swatches, one for anything related to gardening, one for personal notes and drawings, one that I take with me while travelling, and one just for pencil sketches—mostly of plants. It takes a while to finish any of them, but that’s not really the point. The goal is to have fun, to play, and to learn along the way.

I'm a huge fan of your sketchbooks—I first discovered them through your earlier courses. They're so inspiring and show that creativity doesn’t need to be stressful; it can be joyful and colourful. I especially loved your idea of sketching while waiting for paint to dry, or filling empty spaces with patterns. The collection of thumbnails you made based on other artists’ sketchbook layouts is such a gem.

This class inspired the latest spread in my travel sketchbook. I used different materials and styles, reflecting both my mood and the circumstances of the moment. When I have more time, I add more detail. When I only have a few minutes, I make quick splashes of colour and sometimes come back later to add pencil details. I wanted to capture the colours of this trip, and the sea glass really felt like the perfect touch. I’m so glad I added it to the edge of the page—it became my favourite element of the whole spread. 

And finally, I just wanted to share an older sketchbook spread that I consider beautiful. It might look a little clumsy, but to me, it perfectly captures the spirit of this class.
