Creating your own sketchbook

Have you ever searched for a watercolour sketchbook of your favorite paper.  It's not always easy to find. I know they don't have what I'd like in Ottawa, Canada.  There are sketchbooks of other brands but it can be frustrating to work with different brand or sub-quality paper. Most of the time if you're sketching, you're not in your studio and have enough distractions when painting in various areas. Who wants to get used to different paper at a time like that.

If you do find a sketchbook with your regular brand of paper, you will probably notice the high price. Or they may not have the size you want.

You might want to consider creating your own sketchbook with your favorite paper. Here are a couple of videos to explain how to do this.  They each have  a slightly different approach.  Making a sketchbook requires a bit of patience.
