For a visit to Shetland in summer 2021, I used a sketchbook from Wendy Roberts, who trades as “PrintUrchin”.
- Paper: Arches Aquarelle NOT 300gsm
- Size of pages: 10 inches by 7½ inches (25.5cm x 19cm) ( a slightly larger “Octavo” size)
- Number of signatures: 6
- Number of sheets per signature: 2
- Total number of sheets: 6×2=12
- Number of pages: 22 plus 1 page inside front cover and 1 page inside back cover
- Number of sides: 44
- Endpapers: none (Arches paper fastened to covers)
- Cover: linen
These are good and tough for outdoor use. I used up the first one, number 1, for Shetland views and landscapes. Here is the sketchbook in action:
