05.08.2023 Small Training Hikes and Sketches

The past few weeks I’ve been limiting myself to small 3-4 mile hikes every other day as I rest my knee.

The outings have been great opportunities for me to refine my paint kit! I’m so excited about it!

I’ve finally landed on the sketchbook I’m going to bring on the trip. It’s been a lot of indecisive back and forth, what paper is best, binding, size, weight, number of pages, how does it fit in my pack, and do I like drawing in it?

This is the one!

However, I’m so sad, I don’t think the vendor makes it any more! I’ve messaged the seller and hopefully they get back to me soon. I only have 3 of these notebooks left! Hopefully that will be enough for the trip? Or I’ll have to figure out a different sketchbook haha. I looove the paper that is used for these notebooks. It’s better than the traveler’s notebook brand in my opinion.

If the vendor gets back to me I’ll let you know! (if you are interested)

I’ll do a full post on my art kit soon!

Thanks for following along!
