I read 4 books for the Creativity Reading Challenge. I expected to read more but was busy using these books for instruction and inspiration in my own artwork. I have completed 5 colored pencil drawings in the past six months. The books that I read were:
Botanical Drawing in Color by Wendy Hollander
Allie Aller's Crazy Quilting by Allie Aller
Lisbon Sketchbook by Fabrice Moireau
Landmarks of Malaysia Sketchbook by Chin Kon Yit
Favorite Book: Botanical Drawing in Color. I have used this book a lot throughout the year as I move into botanical drawings. I have worked with colored pencils for 20 years but am just starting to draw these types of drawings. The book has been extremely helpful.
Second Favorite Book: Lisbon Sketchbook. I have all of Fabrice Moireau's sketchbooks and view them often. I am learning a lot about perspective and how to draw detail by absorbing his drawings. The sketchbook is part of a series of watercolor travelogues.
I am planning on participating in this challenge next year. Perhaps I will read and review all the weaving books that I bought this year but never got around to reading.
