One of the highlights of our West Cork Sketch Club display will be the illustrated haikus of the poem Thirteen ways of looking at a blackbird by Wallace Stevens. This project was done with black ink on white cards using free flow sketching, some sketches embed the words of the verse, while others use monoprints of natural materials https://www.instagram.com/p/DWCWOglDbAS/
