Day one hundred and thirty-two: I have no idea why I thought I should try making a collage, but somehow there it was. Before starting to sketch, I decided I would use pencil to incorporate artworks that appeared on certain pages of three museum guide books: page 20 of The National Gallery (London), page 30 of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City), and page 40 of the Louvre (Paris) guides. I called out the pages as I grabbed the books, without looking to see what was on the pages first. The sketch you see here is the result of combining and playing with Vase in the form of a humbacked bull (Marlik civilization), Young Man with a Falcon (Tabriz, c. 1540-1550, attributed to Aqa Mirak), and Portrait of a Lady in Yellow (about 1465, Alesso Baldovinetti). This is my natural drawing style, which is very sketchy.
