My Moleskine 365 project continues! After a full quarter of the year doing these daily pages, I’ve hit a good rhythm of working on two pages spreads over two days at a time AND after four spreads, I’m scanning and documenting the work here and on instagram. To keep my digital files organized, I’m grouping each set of 8 pages as week 1, 2, 3, 4 of the month (weeks 1 and 5 go with the month they start out in). Anyway, so this is April Week 2.

Notes:

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy the process of collage? Just letting my subconscious choose images and then again, with as little conscious thought as possible, creating a composition? And yet? There’s some sense to be made (if you look, you will see it). Spreads top left and bottom left please me very much.

What’s interesting is that when I did the second one (bottom left), I didn’t realize I’d already used a person/hands in the first one OR that both relied on black. So dark. I also didn’t realize that as a collage in date order, it might be nice to have similar color stories diagonal from one another instead of right next to one another.

I drew my deck chair and side table Tuesday afternoon (top right)—and experimented with using a paintbrush and water to pick up color from neocolor II art crayons. It was a beautiful sunny day, can’t you tell?

As for the last spread (bottom right), I went back to Posca pens—one of my favorite mediums and mainly just played with geometry and color. Because I felt like it!

The only rule for this project is to do anthing on each page—and I’m endlessly fascinated with how much happens when I do begin with anything.
