Watercolour Sketchbook handmade in leather | 300gsm cold pressed paper

This Watercolour Sketchbook is hand bound in superbly tactile Crimson finest leather with Blue stitching and a leather fob to close. It has 48 pages of luxuriously thick, cold pressed Langton watercolour paper. 

"This sketchbook is beautiful - I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law's birthday and she loved it - as a professional artist, she was particularly happy that the paper was 300gsm." - Pauline, Leicestershire

(Please note both sizes are now made with a stitched leather fob, as shown on the larger book, not with the metal eyelets as shown on the smaller book.)

Features & Benefits

• Professional surface Langton 300gsm cold-pressed watercolour paper is reassuringly thick and strong for wet-in-wet techniques and repeated applications of colour washes without buckling. Because it's fine grain, it's also perfect for detailed wet or dry work with small brushes or pencils, allowing you to bring portraits, patterns and botanical illustrations to life.
• Lay-flat pages The Longstitch binding is flexible and allows pages to stay open on a surface. This means you can enjoy working in your sketchbook without the bother of keeping the pages open with binder clips or weighing them down with paperweights.
• Archival quality Paper is acid-free so over the years your artwork will remain as vibrant and true as the day you painted it. The leather and linen thread are also archival and because the sketchbook is stitched, rather than glued, it will last your lifetime. 
• Handmade authenticity Pages are traditionally folded and torn by hand and a discrete Colophon printed on the final page gives binding, materials and maker details.

"From the lovely soft leather cover to the quality watercolour paper, I have found the medium sized book ideal for recording holiday scenes in watercolour and pen and wash. Customer service is excellent." - Judith, Dorset
