I'm filling up my new watercolour sketchbook just with Gary's view of the world ... quite a pleasant view, luckily.
I like it because it has all the certainty of lines, and pen and ink, but he also likes a good wet-wet wash for the sky or the ground or the trees. There are twenty pages in the sketchbook so I figure that will be a good place to stop.
It was more-expensive-than-I-usually-spend Winsor and Newton 100% cotton A4 book, and it's not very good. There is something about the sizing in the paper that makes it bleed if you paint over it more than about twice, which it shouldn't do. I will try something else next time.
