Flower Garden Gone Wild!
(Abstracting the Garden)
Sketch fast & furious with mixed media
Tear up your sketches
Fill your sketchbook with collage abstractions
Create energetic, gestural impressions of the garden with quick studies. Use those studies to compose sketchbook collages that will serve as great reference material for future paintings. Some, in fact, will often stand alone as complete and successful compositions. You've never had such fun filling your sketchbook!
