I have loose sheets that I cut to 7x10; a good size, but a bit large to take with me, not to mention the fact that the sheets are loose and without a hard cover...<BR/>I am trying 6x8, which just seems to small for me (am interested in sketching urban streetscapes), but which still might be good since the chance of me taking it with me would increase.<BR/>/LamyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344689.post-1140653332802462172006-02-22T16:08:00.000-08:002006-02-22T16:08:00.000-08:00There is a lot of thought that can go into this.

Basically it is taking a 22 x 30 sheet of watercolor paper and subdividing the sheet to maximize the paper use. [I know in the metric system an A2 or A3 size is a very nice proportion better than our system]<BR/><BR/>My sheets of my daily sketch book and color study book is about 5.5" x 7.5" (8 double sheets) - exactly the size of a 22 x 30 watercolor sheet.<BR/><BR/>My figure sketching Journal is 7.5 x 11 landscape. This is a very nice size but a little cumbersome.Puhiavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067077554400440879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13344689.post-1140644769289814962006-02-22T13:46:00.000-08:002006-02-22T13:46:00.000-08:00What sizes are your journals?What sizes are your journals?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
