Our FPP has come to an end and almost all the sketchbook are home. Lindsay will soon end off our FPP.
See a slide show of Rainbow moments.
For info on how (and why!) to do a sketchbook exchange you can read Vivien’s great post!
Until next year!!
…take a moment…
Our international sketchbook exchange is nearing its end with only two more laps to go. I hate endings…unless I know there is something new to fill its place. Any suggestions? Anyone out th..e..ere..???
Here is/was my contribution to Nina’s(Ninajohansen.se) book. See her Polychromatic behaviour, where you can have a look at her cover and how it looks right after turning over that cover. It feels like yesterday that our FPP(Flying pictures project) took off, but it has already been almost 5 months. I decided to add scenes from le Jardin du Luxembourg in Nina’s book, a regular stop of mine to relax with a book whenever I’m in Paris. It’s one of my favourite places, with its colours, it’s water, its children, its sailboats, its shadows, and…its chairs. I’m fascinated by their chairs, standing in a “polychromatic” disorder all over. So I took my camera to Paris one day and just shot scenes all over the garden. Back home I printed them in black and white, pasted them onto Fabriano artistico and stretched the black and white scenes in colour over onto my paper. I thought that could be called polychromatic behaviour?
…the whole 21/2 pages…
…taking over from Vivien’s (Painting prints and stuff)brush and coloured pencils…
…close-ups…
…the end of my pages and off to Lindsay ( Non-linear-arts)…
You can see more of Glen’s book, which is all about flowers, at Flying Pictures Project. I have just added my paper and splatters, thus completing the 3’rd contribution and it is now going off to Lindsay.
Now that our Flying Pictures Project is a little further down the road and everybody involved had already seen my first sketches posted on our blog FPP, AND since I don’t have much in the form of sketches to post here, AND I haven’t been around much, I thought it good to post my first sketches that were sent off in May. With my theme being “rainbow moments”, I took the first subjects that came into my view that gave me joy and this is what shaped the first two and half pages in my book that went off to Lindsay, and has just landed at Robyn. So, four more stops, before it arrives back home.
Edited: To see Lindsay’s beautiful addition in oil pastel, see our Flying Pictures Project .
All sketches done in our handmade concertina sketchbooks with rotring pen, pencil and watercolour.
Once upon a time…
Continue reading at Flying Pictures Project if you want to see more of Vivien’s book.
Not to spoil her surprise, I present a glimpse into the first two pages of my sketchbook which is off to Lindsay. She’ll probably post the whole picture as well as the cover, on which we’ve all worked very hard and stressed about a lot on our different books.., when she receives the book and I’ll then update here as well as on Flying Pictures Project.
…first edition…
