I love me a new sketchbook – all that promise in its clean white sheets…
I don’t know why it’s so hard to disengage from A Plan and just sit and play with paint and see what comes – but it is.
But it never fails to prompt unexpected loveliness – sometimes that takes time and sometimes it pops straight out – which is what happened with these designs.
I have wanted to design a ‘ditsy’ print for ages using a vintagesque colour palette.
Word to the wise… sketchbook play everyday ๐
Edited to add: couldn’t think of names for these designs and then Mr L comes in and says because they look rhythmic that I should look at music terms for some ideas. Everything sounds good in French or Italian so one brainstorm later and we have names ๐ He’s a genius x
