"Quarto," the 4th

Picture
After binding my own sketchbook for my travels in 2012 with Terzo, I knew I wanted to keep the tradition going. Quarto, "fourth" in Italian, is my fourth sketchbook I have taken on my travels in Europe, and the second I have made from scratch. 

Quarto is covered with some wine colored faux leather, inside she's lined with linen fabric. I wanted to have the cover be a little more interesting so a blanket stitch goes around all the edges. Inside there are 8 signatures of 5 folios each, totaling to 80 pages front and back. The pages consist of watercolor and drawing paper, butcher paper, graph paper and some other assort paper I had lying around at the time. 

Sketches were created between June 16 - August 26. 

Includes:  California - Los Angeles and Santa Barbara
                     New York - New York
                     Ireland - Dublin
                     Italy - Castiglion Fiorentino, Cinque Terre (Vernazza,               Riomaggiore), Cortona, Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Siena, Rome and Viareggio
