Add a double-page spread to your sketchbook and divide it up as above. My writing fills each of the boxes as it is a demonstration of the idea. What you need to add is some bullet points and short paragraphs but also sketches, marks, colours, techniques
The yellow marks represent where you should have a minimum of drawing and painting; sketches; mark making; thumbnails; colour swatches; transcription sketches etc
Aim for an even split between text and images. Annotate sketches with bullet points and notes that answer the questions posed in my diagram here

What does SEEC mean?
For A level, you must explain and evidence your arguments. Just saying 'what' gets you an E grade
Statement - what you want to say about them eg 'I like their work because...'
Explanation - explain the reasons behind the statement 'I like the use of colours/ the style of brushstrokes/ the intention to show the subject in a certain way' etc
Example - point out a specific area in a painting or a part of a work that illustrates your statement and explanation
Conclusion - what point do you draw from this/ how will this impact your own work
