I designed this handmade softback sketchbook with 300gsm Fabriano Artistico watercolour paper especially for artists, after I couldn't find one for myself.
The 100% cotton, mould-made, heavy weight paper is far superior to the cheap machine-made, wood pulp-based paper found in most sketchbooks. It is highly stable and durable, with a refined surface, resists warping with wet media, and can be worked on both sides.
As standard I use Hot Press Extra White because it is the most versatile surface; smooth enough for ink drawing yet textured enough for charcoal; suitable for highly-detailed painting in watercolour, gouache and acrylic, and oils too if primed first. I also offer Cold Press Extra White for artists who prefer thicker, softer, more absorbent paper with a rougher texture.
12 pages / 24 sides, hand-sewn with waxed thread into a softback cover made from 300gsm Bockingford watercolour paper bonded to premium archival buckram.
Small, lightweight and flexible, it is perfect for travelling or for smaller projects.
Paper size: 14x19cm landscape, deckled/torn on all sides. May contain a watermark on one page.
All books are entirely hand-made by me in my London studio. If you need a specific size, cover or paper please get in touch.
Quite possibly the most beautiful product I have ever created in. The paper is wonderful and thick, so will be amazing for mixed media. I am going to choose the hard bound version next time.
Thank you so much for your very kind review Lisa, I really appreicate it! 🙏 I'm really happy you like the book 😊
