The Sketchbook Project * Page 2


It's the second day since I received my sketchbook and on to the second page. Not sure if I'll be able to stay on this track, but that's the plan . . . for now! :)  Today's entry was a combination of "post-it" note sketches that I scrap booked onto the page and added a bit of color over. Lil' Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and Alice In Wonderland . . . 3 of my favorite storybook characters!  So . . . I am beginning to think that this adventure is going to take the shape of magic, fairy tales, fantasy and dreams . . . things that make you smile, transport you to a magical and fantastical place and hopefully inspire.  I think I knew it would go that way, but needed to put the first sketches to paper to be sure. So I'm off and sketching...having fun, imagining the next page, mixing ink and pastel...and ready to work through the adventures of imagination, dreams and fantastical fun!

My Sketchbook Has Arrived! The adventure begins . . .

A few days ago I wrote about The Sketchbook Project and was so excited to come home and find that my sketchbook had arrived! So where to begin...I had requested the (name your own) version and have been racking my brain to figure out what exactly that might be! After several days of thinking I still am not 100% sure what the final name will be.  So I have decided that I will begin at the beginning and go till I come to the end (Good advice from the Alice in Wonderland King) and in between will let the adventure take me where it will!   So without further delay . . . let the adventure begin as I share the first page in my Sketchbook for The Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook Project

The Sketchbook Project



So Cool...easy to do and a chance to be a part of art history and a traveling show!


Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country. After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.
Anyone - from anywhere in the world - can be a part of the project. To participate and have us send you a sketchbook that will go on tour! Start Here!
