How to Make Two Types of Accordion Sketchbooks
How to Make Two Types of Accordion Sketchbooks
Making my own accordion sketchbooks has become my preferred method of sketchbook practice for a few reasons: they are easy to make from single sheets of paper; they take away the fear of messing up a bound volume; and they are light, easy to travel with.
In this class I show how to make my two favourite types: a plain accordion for sketching and a watercolour paper accordion with fly-leaves. Both are simple to make from a single sheet of paper.
