Seawhite A5 Concertina Sketchbook with Case

Product Information

It makes me think that layering alcohol-based and watercolour markers may lead to the same effect but I haven't tried it yet. You can use it for drawing and sketching in pencils, charcoals or in ink, but where it really comes into its own is for display purposes, when you can open the book out along a table or shelf to show off its contents. Stand the pieces of paper up, ensuring the folds all face the same direction, as seen in the first image. I prefer to focus on the feeling of the landscape (calm or stormy for example) instead of trying to get accurate proportions or angles. While I don’t share all my sketchbooks I post glimpses, pages and flip throughs on my Instagram account.

They can be a private place to test supplies, make messy, happy accidents and discover techniques I love.I like the idea that it's almost secretive it would make an interesting personal art journal or an altered book piece. Using scissors or a ruler, tear along the crease to separate the page into two pieces along the fold you have made. Some of the most beautiful sketchbooks I’ve seen appear slightly chaotic but they are bursting with energy and personality.

Concertina sketch book luxury I love this concertina sketch book, not only is it unusual to find, it's also beautifully bound and with the added touch of luxury it comes in it's own box to keep all your creative ideas safe. I have a handful without dates and as time passes it frustrates me that I don’t know when they were created.

This flexible and extremely versatile format allows for personal modification of canvas size from using individual sheets to working across multiple folds for panoramas, landscapes or even complete storyboards! However, I have found that the individual pages separate easily, meaning that paint goes in between paintings and it is hard to keep neat. I carry mine everwhere it is my companion, because of the quality of paper and the sturdy case it can be used for painting too and I tend to collage in it. Small enough to slip into a handbag, I can make quick sketches with fineliners, so I end up with a book of my own ‘postcards’ as unique mementoes of places visited.

This Seawhite Pocket Concertina Sketchbook has 38 pages of 140gsm paper, with each sheet joined together to create a concertina that is great for displays. Possessing a mid-textured surface and a slightly off-white sturdy 250gsm composition they are highly suitable for both wet and dry media applications, including watercolour. Made by hand in Northern India by local artisans these unique sketchbooks contain individually produced 100% recycled cotton rag paper sheets with a natural deckled edge.However, if I have an idea, I might choose colours that fit my theme or decide on dark and light areas throughout the book.

Then I choose two or three colours of acrylic paint or ink and loosely mix and scribble paint over the pages. A minimum of two pieces of paper (the same size), you can use as many as you like, the more you use the bigger it is! Good quality paper that withstands quite a bit of water, is smooth to sketch on and doesn’t warp to much when it’s been painted.Let your marks and ideas roll into each other through the book, it can lead to beautiful unexpected results. In this example, some of my students have used them to document their photography work over the course of a term. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. I was enchanted by the way in which it can be used to extend artistic stories and can be viewed and used from any which direction. The sketchbook features 1 extended folding arm and offers 70 panels to work on; each page is two sheets joined together for extra stability .
