I love that you have a sketchbook just for mark making! I do too - well technically 2 - a black and white A4 and a mini A6. I often cut up my paint palette and stick them into my mini sketchbook because the marks and colours I couldn’t ever recreate if I tried and I want to keep them!

Making time for experimental play is soo vital for our practise, and it’s fun!

Hehe well admittedly lots of other things still head into my sketchbook too, I can never keep to one focus in a sketchbook, try as I might 🫣however each always contains my mark making library pages 😄 that’s a great idea! Such a great benefit to working on flexible paint palettes 🎨 haha yes - a win win!

Oh I love the idea of a mark making library! I keep a sketchbook full of colour swatches but I think I need to try adding mark making too.

Love the notebook design! ✨
