As I mentioned yesterday that page has led to me being completely obsessed with stones! Here are some sketch book pages I have done since doing that page in my art journal. These are all in my sketch book {all unfinished sketching out of potential ideas and working out placements, spaces and colour combos for other pieces}. This book was made with Canson Mixed Media XL paper, and I have to say it is a bit rubbish for water media (you can see on some of the photos the bleed through from other pages).

I have sketched with crayons:

Graphite:

Pigment pen:

Watersoluble black pen:

All of these were assessing what different media would do with watercolour.

Then there was the playing with colours and how much water I would use for what effects:

Playing with the idea of stone walls:

Stacked stones:

And just playing :):

Some of these ideas have even started making it to proper paper and into my art journal, which I will show you soon.

I will also do another post on my other stone inspirations I have collected in my ideas book. Just because I always find it interesting to see the processes that people go through and also what the finished works end up looking like as compared to the inspirations and how they all feed off each other!
