Chris, I’ve thought about painting in a journal. The problem I can’t get past though is drying. Wouldn’t it take weeks/months before you can close that book without the pages being stuck together?

Paper dries relatively quickly as it absorbs a lot of the oil. I don't use this particular paper, but I have a pad of kraft paper that I use for small studies.

But even with liquin, it is only skinner over that quickly right? It’s still slightly sticky isn’t it? I’ll admit it’s been a long time since I’ve used liquin, but I’ve used other quick dry products. I’m thinking of the weight that a sketchbook has on it from the rest of the book, or being in a pack, etc.

(Argh. I’ve tried three times to edit “skinner” to “skinned” but it’s not taking).

The Kraft paper makes it dry pretty fast bc its so absorbent. Like within 24 hours

Manoj

Is this like a product placement for this brand? How does it compare to other types of thick papers like for acrylics or canvas pads etc?

Wendy, what brand do you use? I have been looking for a good pad of Kraft paper on amazon and can't fine one. I use the one made by Scott Christensen but it's pretty pricey

It's from Bee Paper Company, called Bogus Recycled Rough Sketch (but it's really not that rough).

Thanks all for the information. I’ve tried pads of Strathmore “oil paper”, and even with driers the pages wanted to stick together for a few days. I’d love to have a small sketchbook that I can paint oils in, so off to the art store I go!

There's a youtuber that shows putting glassine or wax paper over oil sketches to keep them from sticking in a sketchbook. I've also done that with pastels to keep them from rubbing

Having some trouble getting the darker values in the background that indicate the direction of the mountain/valley without them “standing out” too much. Then I try to soften the edge but it loses it’s looseness quality. Probably just an issue where I need to focus on saturation bs value but it’s something I didn’t expect to struggle with

Would like to see more of these!
