I feel like if you do portrait, you could work on a spread of two portrait pages side by side, if the binding allows for it. Whereas two landscape side by side is really only useful for a panorama.
Ooh, yeah, good point. It depends what kind of compositions you want to create. On the flip-side, you could do some interesting stuff with long, narrow compositions whether horizontal or vertical. And get more flow and time passage if you want to do some storytelling across a long composition.
I'm going to be doing a simple binding with flash card rings, so maybe doesn't work so well with taking advantage of the spread...(but makes it easy to take out or add in pages)
Oh yeah, my last sketchbook had ring binding and I don’t think I attempted any spreads. I’m guessing you’ll be doing many a landscape with that watercolour paper as well, so it sounds like that would be a better fit.
