Collage in process by Marla L. Niederer inspired by Karen Stamper's Sketchbook Revival session |
Several
years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Sketchbook Revival presented by
Karen Abend and a host of other artists that share so freely their wonderfully
inspiring talents.
For
14 days each year, two videos are presented daily to inspire a routine
sketchbook practice.
I’ve
enjoyed the videos for many years but for some reason I found myself so much
more engaged in the event this year and really enjoyed the process.
I
created some flowers inspired by Joy Ting’s presentation and created a mini
book inspired by Rachel Hazell.

I
sketched some silly cats inspired by Este Macleod.

I loved the lesson on Zentangles presented by Melinda Barlow and followed along for her Zentangle square.

As I was drawing the Zentangle square I thought the patterns would
make a nice little fairy so I drew this.

Karen
Stamper presented a session on collaging a street in France. I was so inspired by the lesson that I
decided to use an old photo I took while in San Francisco and started this
collage. It’s still a work in process
but oh such fun!

There
were so many other wonderful sessions presented that I haven’t had the chance
to do yet and realistically won’t do them all with all the other art projects
dancing in my head but it was definitely a wonderful way to revitalize my art
journaling practice.
