Last spring I began to foster a puppy, Veto.
It has been fun watching my older male, Nik, mentor him.
I journaled about this in a sketchbook where I had a prepared background.
The process here was to sketch Nik on a separate piece of paper and cut him out. I collaged him to the left page of the spread. Next I colored the rest of the cut piece of paper with a yellow acrylic marker. Finally I collaged that piece--with the empty dog shape-- onto the right half of the spread.
I hadn't planned what I was going to write, but the empty shape helped me capture my thoughts.
I don't usually do this sort of thing in my sketchbook, so it was fun! Collage is something I hope to do more with some day.
