How big is your journal?
I've been itching to have a bigger book so when a great deal came up on Stillman & Birn sketchbooks, I treated myself to a large Beta series. I'm into the rough surface these days.
The paper is very thick and beautiful. Generally, though I like a cheaper journal so that cost doesn't inhibit me but this is a very nice treat. I am planning a lesson-a-week art journaling class most likely over the winter. I'm thinking of doing a webcast 1x/week. What do you think?
Have a peek at my new journal and how it takes watercolor:
I want to get back to this because there is more layering I want to do. You can do that with good paper.
I'm off to CREATE NJ today. Have a nice weekend and if you are attending CREATE make sure you stop by and say hi. Drinks at the Tiki bar :)
Love the idea of "play along" big book journaling class. Hope you can do it!

You are so wonderful. Love the way you shared your experiments. A play along class would be great.

Great! As soon as things cool off in the studio, I’ll get started on it.

I would really love to be taught your loose style! I could make my own journal as I am note sure I can find the one you use....

Great! I’ll pull things together and we’ll start in a couple of months. No need for a “special” journal, of course.
