ArtWorksBooks
The difficult part about traveling with pastels is figuring out how to protect your papers and paintings in transit. Lots of suppliers build great boxes in which to carry and cushion the sticks but few provide loving care solutions for your masterpieces
Making your own ArtWorksBook will not only do that for you but will also make your painting experience a whole lot easier which translates into a lot more fun.
Hard durable covers organize and protect the contents and provide a stiff surface on which to work...on table, lap or easel. For each new project you need only turn to the next page and clamp the entire book onto your easel. Sintra, a plastic foam board widely used by signmakers is a great choice but even foamcore and foamcore with mdg coverings can work.
We found that 11 x 15 in. (29 x 38 cm) is a handy size to travel with and only our book allows for a standard finished size of 11 x 14 after the ring holes have been cut off.
An added bonus of using a page of this size page is that it divides up nicely into one 8 x 10 plus one 5 x 7 painting.

The book pictured here is held together with three snap rings in your standard 3-hole punch configuration making it easy to add and remove paper. Because choice of art paper is so very personal, you can mix and match any papers you wish and we suggest layering them between sheets of glassine with reinforced holes to separate and protect your work. |
