The Sketchbook Project

Over the past few months, I've been working on this sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project / Library for the Art House Co-op www.arthousecoop.com

This sketchbook ( Moleskine Cahier ) was created using acrylic paints and mediums, gouache, water soluble crayons, ink, Copic markers and graphite pencils.

It's been a challenging and satisfying journey. Feel free to come by and check out more of my work at:

@donnloer and @ArtGeekXD Thank you both!

did this used to be a book?

[HMGordy]

@LPSrox44 It was just one of the cheap Moleskine Cahier sketchbooks. Art House Coop supplies them when you sign up to participate in the project.

@doughuntart Thank you. It was a lot of fun and really pushed my art in a new direction.

wow, looks so cool! I am also doing a sketchbook and I used a lot of ink, I found that the pages got really weak and frail.. did you have the same problem ? what materials did you use?

[HMGordy]

@AilzFish Thanks so very much. I had the same problem with the cahier moleskine (unfortunately that's what's supplied for the Sketchbook Project). I found that if I adhered two pages together it helped. I also used gesso on some pages and acrylic matte medium on others. They gave various results, but each one was cool.
