Thanks so much for taking the time to write this detailed answer.
- That is very interesting, I usually only have two sketchbooks at most at once, so I guess the waiting time will be a bit of a problem for me, I guess I will stay with acrylics and gouache for now!
How do you view your sketchbook? I find this varies a lot from artist to artist. But do you see it as a place to better your technical skills/jot down ideas/come up with concept/experiment or do you see it more as an artwork in its own?
I think latter is closer to me... Especially when I draw with ballpoint pen - I do it only in small sketchbooks and mostly when I am out of studio.
