Work in progress: Ewian’s book
Quite a few exciting projects going on this year! Our Moleskine Sketchbook Exchange has picked up momentum and I’m really excited to see my moleskin book travelling to various countries. Check out the beautiful flying man that Jan has painted on my moleskine and the wonderful flying mushroom monsters that Em has added on my book.
When I posted off my moleskine book, I realised that I didn’t give a theme to my book but amazingly enough everyone else and me included (unconsciously) have incorporated a flying/floating theme to my book. I really like the idea!
Recently I received two moleskine books. I’m working on Ewian’s book at the moment. Her theme is “Waltzing Matilda”. I listened to the song and picked up a few key elements to draw. A teacup filled with Billy tea and a steamy illusion of the Coolibah tree. As I’m typing this…I realised I probably should have painted a jumbuck instead of a rabbit in the cup!! Argh!
I’ll share pictures when I’m done with my Matilda painting!

Sweet and fun, lovely shading, looking forward to seeing it in reel life! Yes, it is so much fun to see your book develop in the hands of others.

This is such an amazing idea. Everybody will have their own little art collection in the end. Really cool!

I know! It’s an enjoyable process too! I never quite know what the finished pieces will look like, and it’s also fun to see how others interpret previous artworks and draw collectively:)
