collage and experimenting in sketchbooks
collage and mixed media in sketchbook, swirling surf at the sea's edge. Vivien Blackburn
It's fun to just play and experiment sometimes - new ideas develop that way.
The sketches above are a mix of collage - marbled paper, some brown and olive green paper, a torn up small painting and a touch of coloured pencil, biro and tippex (typing correction pen)
I like using collage and really ought to use it more often in larger work.
This was done in Lindsay's sketchbook in the FPP sketchbook exchange.
Do you use collage?

Yes, I do collage a lot, especially in my beeswax work and I am currently experimenting with ways to adhere papers to watercolour paper in such a way that the paint isn't overly affected.
Look forward to seeing the work you produce with collage in mind!
and thanks!
oh lots of sketchbook pages are terribly scruffy and messy! this was for one of the exchanges so I kept it tidy!
I may be inspired by what you do to try something larger as well, if I find time after my subconscious musings!
It's something I keep meaning to do.
First I'm going to learn marbling as the marbled paper works so well for the ripples at the edge of the waves :>)
I've just done a huge post on the sketchbook exchanges your spaceman is due for a watery landing by the way!
That's the longest post I've ever seen. You're beginning to get as big a blether as me!
recycling is good!
