速寫本的選擇 (Selection of Notebook)
市面上的速寫本種類繁多,使用的紙張材質都各不相同。為了因應各種不同的畫法需要挑選適當的畫本。根據經驗,挑選較厚的紙張可避免上色後紙因為吸水而變皺,適合用作水彩速寫。此外也須考量到上色後的質感表現,以達到符合自己預期的效果。目前我使用兩種速寫本,分別用於麥克筆與水彩速寫。下面將紙張特性與價格一一列出
I select the notebooks according to their papers. Different paper causes different painting effect. On my own experience, thick paper can withstand the wrinkles after absorbing water, and it's suitable to be used in watercolor painting. In addition, the texture of paper also need to be considered. Currently, I use 2 kinds of notebooks.
速寫本 A (專門用於麥可筆速寫) Sketchbook A (for markers)
為50頁的水彩速寫本,尺寸約22X15cm。由於查不出廠牌,因此這種速寫本可能只有在台南的大漢美術社才有賣。吸水性還不錯,相當適合拿來作麥克筆速寫的使用。不過用來畫水彩反而不適合,原因為紙張厚度不足,很容易起皺,且因為乾燥速度太快,無法使用太複雜的技巧。
The size is 22X15 cm, and there are 50 pages. I don' know its brand, and it's probably sold in Tainan. But because the thickness of paper is not enough, it isn't suitable for watercolor.
