Saturday 5th March

Today I began preparing the pages of my sketchbook. I chose to use an old nursery rhyme book as although it is not a fairytale or the Snow White story, I felt it related well to my topic with the use of children's book illustrations. I think it works well preparing the surfaces of an already used book as you get parts of the images coming through which work well when you start creating other imagery over the top. I tried to apply less paint to the areas where there were trees, flowers and other elements from nature as i know these relate to Snow White, especially in the scenes set in the woods.
