- In this video I share how I work over the pre-prepared collage concertina sketchbook in the autumn woodland.
The location work is sped up so that you can see a couple of pages. I know it is a bit shaky but this only lasts a couple of minutes. I then share how I edit pages back in the studio. Finally, I walk you through the completed sketchbook.
Here is the video that shares the pre-preparation :

Good tip about looking back later and adding connecting marks to connect the spreads
Thanks Anne yes I think it really helps to do that and also to simplify as necessary at this stage too.
Yay... waiting for you Liz.. I'm not going to watch this until I make a cup and coffee and sit down to enjoy because your videos are too precious to waste.. !!
I absolutely L💜VE this idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Watch out for more like this and I show it in detail on my online course Making your mark.
Just lovely!
Thanks so much Linda
i will say this is my favorite video series. I am watching you edit and flip through the concertina - i love viewing this as i sip my thermos of coffee thanks again Liz for your wonderful sharing...
Thank you- you are very welcome !- I’m so glad you enjoy the videos.
Hi Liz, just wanted to thank you for all your wonderful videos, which are so inspiring. And your enthusiasm is contagious! I don't really work directly from nature, but your process is really so interesting that I have adopted some aspects of it, like the organisation of collage pieces or how to seal wooden panels. Your generous sharing is very appreciated!
Thanks Maria I’m glad you find it useful.
Beautiful. So inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Karen I’m glad you enjoyed it.
love this idea --i am going to give it a go starting now -jan 2022 Thank you
Thanks so much Teri. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Really enjoyed this sketchbook, Liz. The colour has come more spasmodically this autumn…. So much to be inspired by.
Love the variety of marks and your editing technique, and am so intrigued by the effect of the collage, which seems to open the vista up in a mysterious way. Thank you!
Thanks for your comments Sue. You are right about the spasmodic colour- different to last year. Yes the collage has always intrigued me too! It gives something to respond to and a less obvious result- I always think it really does help me into abstraction.
I love the deep vibrancy of your oranges this year Liz . To be it reminds me of the glow of Autumn.
Thanks Leila I’m glad you are enjoying them!
Looking at this again I began to realise the function of using the white paint
year on as a way of reviewing.
I always enjoy your videos Liz, and am especially fascinated by your process. You live in a beautiful area😎😎
Thanks Terry it is very beautiful but also challenging!
Very inspiring. My coat would be covered in paint.
Thanks Imelda this sketchbook will soon be available on my online shop . Yes it is a bit of an occupational hazard!! I’m using gouache rather than acrylics outside now - find it easy to wash off!
This is beautiful Liz, love your observations of the Autumn woodland & inspiring interpretations!
Thanks so much Luisa!
As always truly inspirational! You've really captured those Autumn colours too!
Hi Rachel, many thanks-I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Wonderful work Liz, I feel like I'm walking through the woods looking at those pages! I'm currently doing an online course and working in a concertina sketchbook at the mo, I love how it flows from one page to the next. It's definitely something I'll be keeping up!
Thanks Jackie yes they are useful story telling books for sure!
Do you gesso your sketchbook before starting? Beautiful use of shapes and autumn colours.
Hello Nina thanks!- No I don’t gesso the sketchbook. If you follow the link in the notes to the preparation video it shows exactly how I pre-prepare.
It's just wonderful how it all comes together. Very inspiring work. Artists are so important in this world so thank you for your vision and creativity.
@@nin9warren you are very welcome Nina
We’re those little tubes of watercolour of gouache you were smudging straight on to the page Liz?
Sorry Anne, I didn't see this comment before. Yes, little tubes of gouache. I find it easier to use with the small concertina than acrylic.
I love your videos . id like to see a slower one. its hard to focus on anything because the picture jumps. so sorry to say
Thanks Nicky - yes it does on this one - sorry - I mentioned it in the comments. I wanted to give an overview rather than a slow version which would have been much longer. Although it’s jumpy it does give a gist of the approach- it’s often a juggle with these things.
Will you give us the dimensions of this concertina sketchbook folded🥰
Hi Judith. I was sure I had responded on this before, so apologies. The concertina sketchbooks are pocket size from Seawhite of Brighton and are 9.5 x 17.5 cm folded.
The first part of the video, with all the shaking and jerky movements, made me dizzy! It was impossible to focus on what you were doing. I did enjoy the latter section where I could actually see what you were adding to the page.
Thank you for your feedback. When I speed it up so as to have a video that’s not too long then that sometimes happens - I mention it in the description. I’m glad you stuck with it and enjoyed the later parts . Thank you for your patience.
If you click at the top,of the video, you can adjust the speed back and slow it down…..just makes Liz sound rather drunk on the voice over 🤣
