From Her Window – Through the Sketchbook

People in her neighborhood are drawn from the artist’s perspective literally; from her window in Manhattan: above, beside, across and below. The studies result in larger involved paintings.

“I try to turn my weird street into something rich and strange.” – Pegi Nicol MacLeod, 1945.

Black ink, graphite, and watercolor on wove paper.

Artist: Pegi Nicol MacLeod.

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.
