A sketchbook is a wonderful tool artists use to collect and recollect ideas, thoughts, inventions and observations. It is used for trying out options and solutions, studying a specific theme and testing your ideas. One may draw, paint, collage and more in one's sketchbook... glue photographs, magazine clippings, pieces of fabrics or found objects...
