I cut out pictures that appealed to me from magazines and newspapers, stuck them into my sketchbook and then extended and developed the shapes and designs out onto the mount papers.
One of the sets of clips I chose was brightly coloured and some contained photos of a circus which appealed to me. Another set was monochrome with swirling, arcing plant forms which I had great fun developing - more of them another time.

Not sure where it'll go next but I think those coconut shy shapes that look so like stylised trees will go somewhere very soon.
PS For anyone interested, the course is Dionne Swift's Online Sketchbook course and details can be found here.
I loved this part of the class, it looks like you are as well. Lovely development of your cut outs, what a great sketchbook you are making.
