double sketchbook tour with commentary | miss mustard seed

After Christmas, I made a commitment to sketch every day. (Every day = almost every day, but I don't have to be hyper about it.)
The purpose of daily sketching is to learn, grow, play, and have fun, not to beat myself over the head with it if I have a busy day or if I'm sick and just can't get to it. I have lived up to that commitment and have been sketching a lot! Here is a tour of the two most recent sketchbooks I completed.
The sketchbooks include graphite, watercolor, sanguine lead, conté crayon, gouache, and pen & ink.

Marion, I just love all your videos, including this one. My favorites are when you quietly paint, explain your process, and insert beautiful music... so relaxing and inspiring. I've watched "asparagus" over and over. 😁

Fun tour!!! My sketchbook is like a diary - I can remember everything I was doing, where I was, etc, while sketching. Thank you for sharing!!

Love going through your sketchbooks with you. So interesting. You make me want to spend more time in my own sketchbooks!

Funny, when you turned the page to the sketch of the bust from Musée d'Orsay, I thought, "Now, there's a beautifully drawn profile!" 😄😂

Hi Marion! I know what you mean when you say it’s just much easier to use a cheap notebook. You just don’t care about it in the same way as you would an expensive or nice-paper notebook. To avoid falling into that trap, I plan to use pieces of paper for practice. If I like them, I’ll keep them. If not, I’ll chuck them into the recycling bin.
