All the pages are 4.25"w x 5.5"h portrait mode.

I took a ZOOM class with Barbara Close, August 20, 2023 hosted by Society For Calligraphy. Love her style. This one was all about different techniques with watercolors. I did all the artwork during class and then added some calligraphy sayings the next day and bound it together...

All the class artwork was done on Fabriano 1264 CP 140# watercolor paper. I accidentally punched the holes for binding in landscape mode... so my booklet stands up and flips up to open - sigh!!
