A Face in Mixed Media, and a Tiny Handmade Sketchbook

I began this with a swift drawing (from memory and imagination) using a thick water-soluble graphite crayon – “Lyra 9B” – and added some ink pen lines, watercolour, and a little white gouache. It’s on a medium A4 size, cold pressed watercolour paper – a “Born” brand, “custom made by James Cropper”. More textured than I usually like, but I think I’ll enjoy filling up this watercolour pad.

For this tiny sketchbook I used lovely “Khadi” cotton paper. Each sheet is about 8cm x 5cm, which I folded, and then sewed together with linen thread.

A special home for little sketches, and some Bible Scriptures. Another handmade sketchbook to add to my growing collection.

Thanks for visiting! Stay safe.
