Book Club: The Sketchbook Idea Generator

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

We had such a great Book Club meeting last week.  We discussed The Sketchbook Idea Generator by Jennifer Orkin Lewis.  It's not my favorite book, but I shared how I made it work for me. Watch the replay below:

Here are two of my favorite little "sketches" I made while working through the book:

And here's the demo piece I created during Book Club:

There are some fabulous versions that other people did, which are now posted in the Balzer Designs Students Facebook Group.  You should check them out!

The next Book Club is on September 14, 2022 at 12:15pm EST.

We will be discussing Expressive Flower Painting by Lynn Whipple.  Set a reminder for yourself HERE.

As a reminder, Book Club is totally free and open to all, whether or not you've read the book.  It streams live on YouTube and Facebook.  You can find the Book Club Archive HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!
