The open book in Photo #1 is the oldest book I still have, it … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Kat Walk Designs
Richard Serra’s Sketchbooks
A new exhibit just opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, “Richard Serra Drawing: A Retrospective.” Serra is best known for massive sculptures made of steel, but drawing is still a key part of his work. Some of the works in the exhibit are large drawings on paper or cloth, but the … Continue reading Richard Serra’s Sketchbooks
Holbein Multimedia Books
I’ve been thinking that I haven’t posted much about larger sketchbooks lately, so here’s one of my favorites. I’ve used a few of these Holbein sketchbooks over the years and always liked them. There’s something about the colors and that stripe up the edge and the ribbon closure that makes them seem nicer than other … Continue reading Holbein Multimedia Books

On Tuesdays, R posts sketchbook images like these, which seem to have been done in a HandBook Journal, from what I can see of the red edge and orange ribbon marker peeking out … Continue reading Sketchbook Tuesday at Alla Prima
Urban Sketchers
I’m a longtime fan of the Urban Sketchers website. Small notebooks aren’t necessarily the only way to do urban sketches, but they’re probably the most practical and frequent tool, so the site offers lots of notebook eye-candy, as well as some great art. Here are a few recent favorites: The site has also organized an … Continue reading Urban Sketchers
