After months of relying strictly on loose paper, I've decided to try keeping a sketchbook again.

 

This one is from Omer DeSerres, has 100 sheets of medium weight paper, and measures 15cm both sides. My only complaints are that the pages aren't perforated and there isn't an elastic or something to keep it together. I love the square dimensions though.

 

As an aside, why is it that all North American sketchbooks and notebooks have such ridiculously huge rings and high page counts? I always end up horribly crushing the rings and have trouble holding the books because they're so thick.

I created this sketchbook using 2 sturdy teal colored Bingo game boards with metal finger sliders. Made from used recycled Bingo boards from the American Legion Baker Merrill Post No. 9 in Ogden Utah. This book is hefty in size, and contains heavy weight 70lb white vellum bristol paper which can withstand any medium.

 

Perfect for painting, drawing, collage or any other favorite medium. Coptic bound with colorful burgundy waxed thread. Opens flat. Journal Measures 8 1/2" x 7 1/2", 80 pages (160 sides)

Months ago I bought this sketchbook because of it's colour. Yesterday, I painted the perfect sketch to show through! Didn't know it would fit so good.

Then you coat the spine with glue, but not too much. THEN you stack a bunch of heavy books on there to keep it all squished together. Harry Potter!

These are some drawings from my sketchbook June/July 2010. Since 2008 I've been trying to get as much background work of mine onto Flickr, not only because it is good to get other perspectives and comments, but also as it really helps when sorting through one's work to see trends and ideas in a simple way. Since my After Cezanne drawings (gouache) that I begun in February 2010, I've been working on small scale line drawings, based on direct observation. For these I've employed various graphic marks and shapes to suggest texture or space. The line drawings began about thirty years ago when going about U.S.A. as they were convenient shorthand for recording places I visited. In the past I'd often turn them into oil pastels or paintings...this process began with my Human Land Exhibition of 1984. Now 26 years later I have re examined the role of these notational sketches and believe they may be a way forward for future work, this year I'm concentrating on drawing and having re-visited many of the sites of my earlier American paintings I hope to bring to that something of my artistic journey.

 

As ever I wish to relate my Flickr stream to art that I enjoy and places I've visited recorded in photographs.
