Accordion Style Sketchbook



These were dramatic sky paintings done both during and after taking Cynthia Armstrong's Experimental Landscape class.  I created an accordion style book using the painted watercolors as interior pages and made a hard cover using museum mat board with an abstract painting as cover art.  I used the palette colors that were left on my palette to create the cover art.  I will work up a blog post about how to do this, soon I promise.
