Agree completely with using smaller size paper/sketchbooks as beginner…it made huge difference in my approach.

@sofiapavanmacias Жыл бұрын

yesss, love painting small!!

@lyvsix 4 ай бұрын

For me is the other way arount. Small sketchbooks intimidate me much more than an a4 or even an a3

I am a huge fan of Etchr sketchbooks, but I also love Kilimanjaro sketchbooks even though they are wire bound, I like that they have a 70 lb sheet between each watercolor sheet. Also the 300 lb (640 gsm) is great for oil sketches.

Thank you for these recommendations, and for sharing your work. I’m definitely going to make my next sketchbook purchase a toned tan one, now I’ve seen how much of a head start one can give to warm mid tones. Thanks again!

With everything besides painting and markers but especially for ink-work I like the Leuchtturm sketchbooks. The paper is really nice for fountain pen, ink brush and pencils and I like the size of the big square one. For painting with water colour/gouache I haven't found a "holy grail" yet, though I am also a bit more frugal with sketchbooks since I go through them rather quickly...I mostly to sketching and planning stuff in sketchbooks, less finished pieces.

I have a Hanemühle Nostalgie sketchbook that I'm very fond of. I miss having access to their papers, it's not very often you find them in Canada, and they are very expensive. That toned Strathmore one looks great! I'll have to pick one up next time I need a new sketchbook. That's for sharing your thoughts and sketchbooks!

Only 2 sketchbooks in, but I got the brands right and I feel like some kind of fancy ✨sketchbook connoisseur.✨ But no, it’s because I own and really enjoy both brands. Anyway, your work is lovely and I look forward to more.
