Wow! I absolutely love love love your portraiture work!! It’s so loose and fun and experimental, love everything about it, especially your self portraits! That first one with the yellow background, is everything!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this sketchbook tour with us!
Thank you! I fins it hard sometimes to talk about my work, by this point some of my themes are repetitive but I do feel I found some new ways of working in this sketchbook and it will inspire further work
What a fabulous sketchbook tour! I love your layering process with drawings layered over drawings, and drawing over paint. I’m feeling very inspired! Thanks for sharing!
So happy to see your sketchbook tour today. I love them so much. You make art so much fun. I have not done any artwork in about a month. We moved down the road and it has been keeping me busy. I need to do something even if it is a scribble or whatever. Thank you for inspiring me Sonia. ❤😊
You’re welcome! Glad to hear it's a motivator to get back into making art! Moving is stressful - and can imagine it is hard to find time while you sort stuff out. Hope you get settled in soon!
Lovely portraits! I’ve done what you did, sticking my daughter’s drawings in my sketchbook. I came across one recently where she had drawn our family and made her older brother look like a massive balloon with huge cheeks sticking out each side. It was an ongoing joke between them at the time! So funny how it brought back memories!😂
I really like your portrait. For me they are perfect. The colors choices, the style, the fact that you cover them up with other portrait. I feel it’s your best work ❤
thank you I appreciate it as this is a special sketchbook for me- I haven't altered a sketchbook that I put so much work into like this before but I feel I have found some more interesting ways of pushing figurative art to make it interesting to me again.
I don’t see your drawings as wrong I see them as interesting, lets face it if we want a good shot we take a photograph don’t we, I love the way they are, remedy the eyes by painting your eyes first, then if you hate them you can start again. Can’t imagine you would hate them because all your self portraits are really great. Thanks Sonia.
I will try! there are definitely a lot of layers in this one- watered down acrylics and acrylic ink worked well on these pages- I like to let some of the drawings come through
@@soniabrittain thanks 🙏 I got some issues with neo color 2 crayons as they are too fatty to draw on top of. They also react with water based mediums… if you have some tech tips for layering in a next video and feel like talking about it or show some of your favorite ways to work with these Neo col.2’s… that would be fab 🤩👍

Really appreciate it - I do love how the drawings have evolved over time.
Hi Sonia! Great sketchbook tour once more ❤ Could you walk trough the mixed media layers maybe per drawing a bit more? Thanks 🙏
