 | Carmine Red by Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. Staff
Both serious artists and casual doodlers have found dozens of uses for these handsome sketchbooks, now offered in four colors and three sizes. Many choose the popular 8 1/2 x 11 format for sketching outdoors or for toting to art class. Others like to toss the smaller 5 1/2 x 8 1/4 size or the new 4 x 6 size into a purse or backpack so they are always ready to jot down visual ideas or sketch an interesting character. The archival-quality, vellum-finish paper is especially appealing to artists. It will not yellow with time, ensuring the preservation of their drawings, and its smooth surface readily accepts pencil, ballpoint, pen-and-ink, charcoal, marker, and other drawing mediums. Artists also appreciate the rounded and sewn bindings, which allow the books to lie flat while they work. The covers have a leather finish but are actually tough, waterproof Kivar. Each book is 224 pages with a Kivar over board binding. AUTHOR: Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. Staff
