From my non-magical sketchbook : study no.7
by Heather Castles, Artist & Muggle

watercolour on 30 x 37 cm vintage scrapbook paper

This is a study I did in paint to prepare for the works in my Altered Muggle Art collection. I've taken time-lapse reels while painting these, the reels are up on Instagram and TikTok which are fun to watch.

I have had this vintage scrapbook around and saved it for painting and drawing on because the textured craft / parchment paper was just so rough and inviting as a surface to work on. It is very old, and even smells like old book! I think that really lends itself to the magical feel, it smells like an old magical library! 

The paper is very fragile, you'll want to handle gently to not rip the edges, and make sure your hands are clean and free of oil to not leave smudges on the pages. 

If you would like your sketch framed, please drop me a note and I can see what I have that would suit and give you an estimate.
