Hullo Elvie, I enjoyed seeing your "sketchbook" Do you find it funny that people call a book of paintings sketches? or that so many people put paintings in a collection in a "sketchbook"? I remember when I purchased my first workbook for paintings. I went to our local store (when we still had one) and asked the counter person for the workbook they use at the college, as this is what my Gran told me to go ask for. She laughed at me and said your a little young to be in college aren't ya? I might have been 14, before this my Gran had always cut down sheets for me to work on. She wanted me to gather my work together and show her my "practice drills" brush work and other techniques she was teaching me. Well I got the workbook, they make a similar one over at Cheap Joe's here in the U.S. They use their Kilimanjaro paper and use thin paper to separate the sheets, It was $4.50 I believe the same thing is now $26.29 it is called a Watercolor Paintbook and has 20 sheets of each The use Kilimanjaro Natural White Watercolor Paper and 70 LB drawing paper. I think the old book used tracing paper between the watercolor papers. Well I doubt you have a Cheap Joe's in New Zealand, but maybe they have a similar product. Needles to say I quickly ran out of money and my Gran showed me how to fold full sheets into workbooks using the Copic stitch for the binding. I do enjoy your videos and I just wanted to say Thanks for posting today.
It defiantly is quite funny they're all paintings in a sketchbook. I tend to call them studies as individual work. Watercolour paper and books are personally the best thing to spend the extra $ on, makes such a difference and honestly makes the painting so much more enjoyable. So glad you enjoyed the video:)
