Art Lesson #16: Concertina Sketchbooks

Or, a continuous panorama of wonder

More ideas for drawing just one thing

Last week I suggested that a nice, low-pressure art project for the new year might be to start a new sketchbook in which you draw or paint just one thing.

Here’s a follow-up to that: what about using a concertina, or accordion, sketchbook to create a continuous panorama of wonder?

I like the Moleskine Japanese Album for this, but there are other accordion sketchbooks out there.

Here’s a video about the sketchbooks I filled with leaves and flowers. I just took pictures with my phone as I was walking around and did these back at home.
