Sketchbook - autumn sunshine

This is such a lovely in-between time of year: bright and warm, mellow in the shadows, flickering, glinting greens shifting into lemons and rusts. I thought I'd have a little go at collaging the feel of it in my scrappy sketchbook:

I splashed watercolour on one page and then folded two pages together and quickly pulled them apart. I collaged on bits of napkin, kitchen roll, origami paper and the painted ripped remains of corrugated choc croissant packaging (thanks, Waitrose!).




I think this is what's meant by just using your sketchbook and not worrying too much about how glorious the results are. It kind of has the feel of how life is right now...
