Weekly sketchbooks


An idea for a weekly sketch book. Make two 5.5 in square books today, the Paulus Berensohn design. The books have 24 pages, so three or four drawings a day to fill a book in a week.


To start, drawing acanthus flourishes copied from Girolamo Dai Libri, this week's find at Norlin. Something so appealing about rolling, curling acanthus leaves. Will also try adding color, gouache if the paper will tolerate it.
