Algonquin

"Algonquin Hotel" New Brunswick, Canada

Here is another hotel image done in the same journal.

I received an email yesterday asking what kind of sketchbook

this is and if I made this one myself. I didn't make this one

myself, but it is full of Fabriano 140 lb. CP watercolor paper,

which is my favorite. I got it many years ago and it was made

by Brookfield Stationery, which we carried in the art store where

I worked. The sketchbooks I have made at the local FedEx/Kinkos

are about 5" x 7" watercolor sheets that I tear, leaving a deckled edge.

Then I sandwich those between two pieces of matboard that are

slightly bigger than the wc paper and they spiral bind it. You can

decorate the matboard with handmade paper, kraft paper

or draw on it!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
