Seawhite A5 Concertina Sketchbook with Case

Product Information

While I don’t share all my sketchbooks I post glimpses, pages and flip throughs on my Instagram account. I would recommend cutting a square piece of hard cardboard or similar to stick to the front and back covers to make this stronger, but it is not essential. The sketchbook features 1 extended folding arm and offers 70 panels to work on; each page is two sheets joined together for extra stability .

I bought this for my sister who is a paper artist and often makes concertina books so that she can sketch to her heart's delight. 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. Seawhite of Brighton Concertina Pocket Sketchbooks are made using high-quality materials within the UK.

I like the idea that it's almost secretive it would make an interesting personal art journal or an altered book piece. 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.I prefer to focus on the feeling of the landscape (calm or stormy for example) instead of trying to get accurate proportions or angles. It makes me think that layering alcohol-based and watercolour markers may lead to the same effect but I haven't tried it yet. I sometimes find myself hunched over the sketchbook with a tiny brush or pencil, my nose inches away from the paper focused on a tiny area. Then I choose two or three colours of acrylic paint or ink and loosely mix and scribble paint over the pages.

Let your marks and ideas roll into each other through the book, it can lead to beautiful unexpected results. 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!
