Accordion Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Today, I'm sharing a special sketchbook filled during the "Capture the Lisbon Wow" workshop I led with Cynthia Morris. This custom-made accordion sketchbook from Lisbon’s Casa d'Amendoeira is packed with memories, drawings, haikus, collages, and more.
From playing with coffee and drawing pastries to capturing views and people, every page is a piece of Lisbon. If you've got an accordion sketchbook gathering dust, I hope this inspires you to dive in and have fun!
Your assignment for today: grab a pen, draw something, and maybe add a bit of writing. Enjoy the process, and I'll see you next week!
The accordion sketchbook shown in this video was made by book binders Casa d'Amendoeira: www.casadamendoeira.pt

That big monument with Jesus on top is called Cristo Rei, which means King Christ.

[@user-gh3yn6uy4g]

I used to make handmade books as a hobby years ago. One was an accordion type for a friend. I might just try doing that again for myself!

[@KoosjeKoene]

Yes! Sounds like a great plan.

[@larysacherner312]

[@KoosjeKoene]

It really is a treasure.

When in my 20s I photographed everything. The I lost my camera and life was busy. Then in my 40s a few photos on a cheap mobile...now I'm shy I taking photos and I'd love to be able to sketch my memories instead💛 I'm currently on my 2nd sketchbook and there ARE some lovely memories. I understand you feeling this one is precious 💛

[@KoosjeKoene]

That is wonderful! I used to be a photographer, and although I captured great pictures and moments, the memories in a sketchbook are much livelier. And I like the creative process much better too.

[@annipetratos9401]

@@KoosjeKoene ...and you can add things that you may have already missed, if you were capturing that moment on film, also emphasize things that are important to you personally 🤍

[@KoosjeKoene]

@@annipetratos9401 totally!

[@eileenreillyarts1229]

I needed to reset my morning to turn some little nuisances around and the first thing I did was watch your video. Love Tuesdays. And I love that you got a bookbinder from Portugal to do that book. It's wonderful. I need to go back!

[@KoosjeKoene]

I'm honoured to be part of the start of your day!

[@KoosjeKoene]

[@robinwild1]

Could I please ask what type of tape you use to stick things in your sketchbook? I assume it is a tape that will not yellow and fall off in time like cello tape?

[@KoosjeKoene]

It’s MT washi tape
