Sketchbook Spread
Before we had all these beautiful coloured inks and watercolors, the old masters used Bister, or Bistre. It was made out of ground shells of walnuts.
Bistre is French for brown, hazelnut color, or chocolate brown.
I had never heard of this until my mother-in-law talked about it. She uses it in the art group she attends weekly. I got curious and bought a few bottles, that looked like medicine bottles from long, long ago. Then Of course, I tried it. By taking some of the grains out, and dilluting them with water, you can paint with it. Just like with watercolor you can use it wit a lot of water, or just a little. Pretty cool! So thats the drawing on the right hand side of this journal spread.
On the left, with my ususal watercolours, I made a selfie the day before. Just because.

Going out Take your sketchbook
Did you know that bringing a sketchbook with you to a cafe or restaurant is a fantastic excuse to spy on people while you sip your drink? meanwhile, it is also a perfect practice to draw people and study proportions, gestures and postures.
Do you feel intimidated by drawing in public? Or do you feel uncomfortable drawing people? I can help you with that!
This Monday, my online drawing course "Just Draw It" starts: its a 5-week course with drawing techniques and simple approaches to tackle your fears and flaws. Lets do this together!
For $99 you are in for lots of drawing fun with guaranteed feedback from your teacher: moi.
