I started using this Moleskine sketchbook in 2012, but since I didn’t like how the paper was interacting with ink and watercolor pencils (nor the cream page color), I gave up on using it for a long time. Years later, I started experimenting with mixed media in sketchbooks, and came back to this one. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you might’ve seen glimpses of the various art experiments in it. Now that I’ve filled out the entire sketchbook, I’m sharing some of my favorite pages.

Since the bronze details aren’t visible in a scan, I’m also posting a photo of this spread.

To read more about some of the techniques I used on these pages, read my article: My 6 favorite mixed media art journal & sketchbook techniques.
