Four exquisite “coloring book” architectural illustrations wrap around the front and back covers of these 4-3/4" × 7-1/2" Sketch Books. Two 2-Packs in the series: one features Los Angeles and Chicago, the other features New York and Miami. On the inside covers, you’ll find fun facts about each city, and inspiration for your drawings.
BACK STORY: Field Notes' idea for the Spring 2023 Quarterly Limited Edition revolved around urban architecture and the juxtaposition of new and old styles in large American cities, as well as making a proper Sketch Book with top-quality body paper.
They teamed up with Steve McDonald, an artist known for his series of best-selling adult coloring books that depict real-life and imaginary city scenes; selected four American cities; and tested a variety of media on several paper stocks. The result is the limited edition Spring 2023 Quarterly edition, entitled, "Streetscapes."
