Keeping a Creative Sketchbook
Keeping a Creative Sketchbook
From watercolour icon Emma Block, author of Joy of Watercolor (net 53K copies) and Watercolor Life, comes a creativity guide to keeping a sketchbook as an artistic practice, with techniques and sources of inspiration for experimenting, drawing and painting, and seeing the world through a colourful lens.
Keeping a sketchbook is a wonderfully rewarding pursuit for artists and hobbyists alike. Your sketchbook is a safe place to explore, experiment, try new things, record your progress, and sometimes mess up. Working in a sketchbook, particularly on location, is an innately mindful practice. You become completely focused on the things you are sketching or painting and completely immersed in the atmosphere of the place.
In Keeping a Creative Sketchbook, Emma Block shares her own sketchbook practice and offers inspiring artist interviews and numerous techniques and practices for beginning or transforming your own. Packed with ideas and prompts to get started, this book helps overcome overwhelm and open a world of joyful creativity.
With your sketchbook by your side, you can slow down, be present, notice the little things, enjoy the process, let go of perfectionism, and embrace the blank page. Discover rich new depths to your creativity and find your artist mindset for inner peace.
