Towards the end of last year I had a request for Artist's Sketchbooks bound in leather with watercolour paper from my local stockist Walford Mill Crafts in Wimborne, Dorset. I took the opportunity to experiment with a slightly different Longstitch binding style, new closure options (tabs and studs), as well as some new colour combinations. And these new style Artist's Sketchbooks are now available for you, too - you can shop right here (although do visit Walford Mill Crafts if you're visiting Dorset, it's a lovely place by the river with stunning exhibitions from local and national makers, not to mention a very enticing shop!).
I hope you love the brand new colour combinations as much as I do; Mustard & Olive is a particular favourite of mine and with customers so far; Oxblood, Teal & Mustard is very warm; Duck Egg & Sherbet Lemon is a nice fresh colourway and there are some in the perennial favourite - dark blue. You can find them all here, but scroll down if you want to know a little more about the papers I've used.
Mustard & Olive A5 Medium Artist's Sketchbook
Oxblood, Mustard & Teal Square Watercolour Sketchbook
Blue and Magenta A5 Medium Leather Artist's Sketchbook
Watercolour paper: 300 gsm cold presssed, fine grain paper which is acid free, FSC certified and made in England. I've heard from a calligrapher that this paper is great for calligraphy; it's also thick enough for collage and mixed media and it would be good for writing or drawing if you prefer a really sturdy page.
Cartridge paper: 150 gsm smooth paper for all dry mediums.
Pastel paper: 160 gsm fine art paper in varied tones with a slighty textured surface.
You can also commission me to make a bespoke sketchbook just the way you want it - you can choose your size, leather and binding colours and paper type. Check out your bespoke options and then get in touch to commission your own book.
