Sketchbooks
The journals of Charles Ritchie have been created continuously since 1977 and record the artist's direct response to his subjects. The images and notes often provide insight into the creation of a work or lay groundwork for new drawings and prints. Since 1992 the books have been handmade and are sewn and bound by Virginia Ritchie, the artist's wife. To date, completed volumes number 128. See the new work page for examples of individual journal pages reproduced in detail.
