Love the idea. The last time I tried writing about my trip, I bought a waterproof notebook for my cycle touring adventure of France and Catalonia. I ended up writing some bullet points and nothing more. I have not looked in the notebook since then.
But, I have a similar notebook full of doodles/stickers/newspaper clippings which I shared with a friend, and I treasure the shit out of it.
Well said! I really do treasure the shit out of my trip books, even if I didn't do much sketching in them :) Collecting bits n bobs and writing even a little here and there really can bring back the whole trip!
What a great idea! I always have a sketchbook with me when I travel but it's often just the one I'm working on at the time. Never considered getting one with less pages specifically for a trip. And then to prep the pages ahead of time. Love this!! Thanks.
I love the idea! I've not yet used a concertina for on-site sketching, but I'm feeling optimistic because I really enjoy working in them in the studio. hey may become my new default, and I think I may start to so at least small 'preparations' in advance for carry-along sketchbooks even when I'm not off on holiday. This will be a really fun experiment. Thanks for reading Carole!
