My Watercolour Moleskine Sketch book.

A couple of years ago, I received a Moleskine watercolour sketchbook as a gift. Normally like to sketch and play in a square book. (I have used 32 square sketch books over the past 16 years). But during this year, looking for inspiration, I opened up the Moleskine and started making works. I had just picked up some new art toys to play with. A small tin of Art Graf watercolour graphite and a brown, dress makers water colour. 

The process was not intentional, it was more of a playing and balacing act, with line, shapes and colours. At first the colour were limited, then small touches of colours were needed. I used my favorite crayons, Neo-color II, which can be used like a normal crayon, but also can be used with water, as they are water soluble.

Black micro Pilot pens also starting making fine lines and marks across the pages.

Some evolved into strange landscapes.

But all of the time, it was about making marks, playing with the materials and letting the images come from my subconscience. I worked with the TV on, and just made the first marks directly onto the pages.
