I do like to mix media though so if it is possible it's great.<BR/><BR/>I'll bring the sketchbook on Saturday Katherine. There's not much in it yet though.

I have been following the moods of a little persimmon tree - I have the photo references but am behind with my homework.<BR/><BR/>I have an old set of Pelikan pans that belonged to my daughter - I think they are gouache, too chalky to be watercolour - they work a treat in my Moleskine.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-21843238424328165602007-03-21T12:57:00.000+00:002007-03-21T12:57:00.000+00:00Lovely sketch Vivien - despite the problems.

I like various sizes and types of paper for different things - some women have a shoe 'thing' - I collect art sketch books I think!vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-75763491752033159982007-03-20T16:03:00.000+00:002007-03-20T16:03:00.000+00:00Moles work for everything EXCEPT water media!!

Also they are very small books and generally I prefer larger sketchbooks so I doubt if I'll bother with the watercolour one.
