New and inspiring books and courses
I have been enjoying Sketchbook Revival, hosted by Karen Arbend again this year. It is a free 15 day inspirational set of videos - two per day - from different tutors with ideas for adding to sketchbooks/art practice. They all offer a free gift, which usually involves signing up to their websites, but this is no hardship for those that particularly interest you. I was reminded about this by Amy Maricle, whose weekly slow drawing tutorials I follow, was offering a video again this year. The videos are available until 19th October for free but if you would like access after that date, you will need to pay. I have made lots of notes, as there are many techniques and ideas from the teachers that I would like to try.
One video was by Lucie Duclos and it was really inspiring to me. I found that she has a book out, so that was straight on my list. She has a mid-century vibe and uses collage and doodling to create her art works.
