A Year of Observation, Color, and Wonder
Sketchbook 2026 is an intimate collection of original artworks created from daily observation and artistic exploration.
Each piece began as a moment of curiosity—a flower on a windowsill, shifting light across a table, the quiet beauty found in ordinary life.
Working primarily in mixed media with expressive linework and luminous color, Brenda Knoll captures subjects with freshness and spontaneity while preserving the authenticity of the sketchbook process.
These paintings celebrate imperfection, movement, and the joy of seeing.
Unlike studio-produced works, the pieces in Sketchbook 2026 retain the energy of first impressions.
Every page serves as both a record of artistic growth and a collection of finished works worthy of display.
Dear viewers and collectors,
Welcome to a collection of my favorite artwork from my sketchbooks.
These pieces represent a space where I explore various elements, themes, techniques, and motifs freely. Only my favorite and most cherished works make it into this collection.
Thank you for checking it out, and consider adding one of these unique pieces to your collection!
Hello! My name is Brenda Knoll, I was born a child of the sunshine and lived in a rainbow dress until the day they sold it to Goodwill. At that point, I discovered paintbrushes, found them to be delightful companions in all things joyful, and never looked back.
