Lisbon folding sketch book

I spent 3 days in Lisbon before the Internationl Sketchers Symposium, sightseeing, sketching and eating the most delicious food. I happened to take a folding sketch book with me and decided that I needed to complete it before the Symposium started. It was a very different process for me but found I enjoyed the challenge.

A fellow sketcher took this photo of me with my crazy fold out sketch book during one of our workshops. I did not have time to put color into it until I got home. I have been so busy with work that it has only been worked on sporadically. Tonight it was finished and then I had the arduos task of figuring out how to post it...

It is not exactly the way I would like it. Funny crops etc. but for now it is okay. I really need to research this process a bit more...when I can find the time...

    Totally delightful! I almost always enjoy other people's travel photos, but how much more fascinating to see it done in watercolor! And your slide show is very successful.

    Your fold-out sketchbook is just terrific! I was fascinated at how you managed to connect all the pages so they flowed beautifully, even tho the had different subjects in them. Well done, indeed! nancy

    That's a really dynamic presentation, Jennifer ~ beautifully drawn (of course!), cohesive, colorful, and the flowing format gives me the impression that I am actually walking through the scenes. While you can probably see flaws in the construction, it looks really professional to me.

    Wow, your talent leaves me speechless! Not only a fantastic job of creating, but I really like the 'slide' presentation.
    Was this a folding moleskine? I have one, haven't use it, the paper seems too thin for watercolor.
    Thanks so much for sharing!

    Hi Jennifer, nice meeting you briefly in Lisbon. I just came across your blog and thought I'd leave you a comment. The accordion book looks great! It is a bit tricky chaining a series of scenes together in these - I also have to work on finding the right way when it isn't an actual panorama. The slideshow is a great way to present it though.
