Apparently this is my third sketchbook from the Sketchbook Project and it will be the only one I've managed to send back (assuming I don't forget to take it to the post office tomorrow...). The first one I don't even remember at all and have no idea where it might be. The second I have and it's got about three pages filled. This one I dismantled and reflled with some slightly better paper and a few pages of watercolour paper, and I have at least filled most of it.

And here it is in all it's messy glory...

This week I went on a three morning workshop in Colchester to learn the basics of watercolours. There were only four of us, and it was interesting to see how different everyone's styles were, and the different levels ot experience and abilities. Anyhow, I had fun and I think this one was more useful than the other one day  workshop I did a while back, as this tutor spent more time on how to use different brushes, plus I liked her approach working with a single colour to really show how much variety you can get in adding more or less water. Simple stuff but that was exactly what I needed.

Herewith a picspam of my three mornings.

I decided to post everything, even if I absolutely hate what I've done, and to be honest, nothing I've produced so far is hateful but nothing's much good either. But never mind, that's what Inktober's all about, trying to improve inking skills. Which is very necessary for me, as I've realised I know nothing about using ink of any kind! LOL

But that's bye the bye. Onto the inking semi-disasters!
