Sketchbook Sneak: Anka’s Atmospheric Mixed Media Drawings

January 9, 2014 |

Author: Philip Dennis

Here’s a little peek into some gorgeously atmospheric mixed media sketchbooks by German artist Anja Zaharanski, aka Anka. The pages of her work are full of very satisfying splashes of paint and ink.

The expressive marks taken from the prep work are carried through to the final drawings and prints, often using images directly from the sketchbook.
