Hints, tips and reminders of how you might add colour, texture and interest to your sketchbook pages using the techniques we demonstrate in Module 2.
Working backwards
Linda is continuing to review her sketchbook pages to see what she can add for more interest. She says it’s a great opportunity to experiment!

Module 2 – collage, paint and pastel.
Linda is working with paint, pastel and collage to record some of her favourite objects. A couple of metal keys also find their way into the pages!
First pages for Module 2
Linda is starting Module 2 with some oil pastel and watercolour wash studies of her favourite china. Take a look at her quick painting of cups and saucers where the gilding of the china is achieved with metallic gold pastel.
Adding texture to the sketchbook page
When the surface quality of the paper in your sketchbook is boring try gesso for added textural interest.
