In this video I show you how I make a homemade watercolor sketchbook in less than 15 minutes, in 5 easy steps! This is the same watercolor sketchbook that I use in my studio. The pages are sewn together using my handy 5hole guide, which is shown in the video. To see this sketchbook in action, check out some of the other videos on my channel, including my recent Watercolor Sketchbook Tour.

Supplies:
Watercolor paper (I use Fabriano Artistico, 100% cotton, cold press sometimes you can find it as part of a 5pack, 16 x 20 inches in size) Blick link: https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click10068...
