What Inspires Me.


Hi

I recently purchased some 150gsm cotton rag handmade paper.

 Not having used it before I was looking forward to trying it out.  

I decided to start out with coloured pencils.




I love the texture and I think it lends itself to coloured pencils wonderfully.




I mentioned in my last post that I am learning a lot about the type of art I am drawn to.

One thing I have learned is that I prefer a more muted and

 natural colour palette.


I have already had an interest in handmade books and abstract landscapes

 but would love to explore these further.

I had a lovely comment from a fellow blogger Giggles asking me to post

a couple of links to what has been inspiring me lately.


I can't find a way to share my Pinterest boards here on blogger 

so here is just a taste of  what I have found to inspire me recently.





I hope you enjoy checking them out.
