[BKARTS] sketchbooks
Hi everybody! Thanks so much for the recomendations on
books about sketching. I was browsing at Amazon.com
for this subject, and oddly you recomended me exactly
those wich I marked as "not interested" (as those ones
didn't show the table of contents).
I am about to buy 3 books: Watercolor Journeys: create
your own travel sketchbook (Richard Schilling); Create your
own artists journal (Erin Otoole); Artists Sketchbook
(Quarto Book - by Lucy Watson). Can anyone here tell me
if they are worth buying?
I thought that this subject would be a off-topic once that
since I entered this list I just saw topics related to
bookbinding...
Here in my country there are very few artists showing their
sketchbooks. I only know "Rubens Matuck" (young artist,
he travells a lot around Brazil), "Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira,
Joaquim Codina and José Freire" (they travelled thru Amazon
river along Barbosa Rodrigues in 1871, sketing plants and
exotic animals, but I don't know if there is a publication
compiling their works) and Debret (he studied social life
in the colony)
