First page of a sketchbook that is almost finished

I am on the last spread of the current sketchbook (number 155) and just realized that I've never posted what was on the first page!  

The first page is where I usually record current sketching tools and notes on current themes and ideas. In this case, you can see that I was enjoying a stable pre-determined subject for daily drawing - my amaryllis! It helps me a lot during times when I have very little sketching time and during times when my capacity for making choices is stretched too thin by other parts of my life to have something that is reliably there for me to draw. That is a big reason behind my table garden too :) 

I will post a whole series of amaryllises that I got in this book next week!



What is on my table? January 2021.

Imagine you just walked into my studio in the middle of the day - this is a typical January 2021 table mess view: recently revived ackerman pen that made my January a very inky month, pencil sharpener (I found it in my drawer) that is working really well for some finicky color pencils (thick luminance pencils for example), gouache palette and notes and sketches on a project I am working on.

True Story:
"Mom, want a tooth?"
"Yes!"
"Here" :)
Read what happened next in my sketch :)
Another one came out just a few days later :)

Sketchbook #102: Pieces Everyday Life

I am continuing posting some sketches from December here... Another tooth was lost, news were drawn to digest them, room decorated for all kinds of winter holidays we celebrated and visit to doctor with elderly relative.
