I thought I'd go into detail about how most of my art works for the sketchbook project 2011 were done.
The "Oak and Linden" pen drawing is inspired by the story of Baucis and Philemon who wished to be oak and linden trees intertwined upon their death.
The Process
I drew the portraits of myself and my husband in pencil from an old photo taken when we were budget travelling through Mexico. Lots of good memories from that trip!
The actual sketchbook page was already covered with a page from and old dictionary. The main materials I used were pencil, sakura micron pens, rice paper, dictionary paper and acrylics. The doodle lines were added free hand.
