"I just want to say thank you for the beautiful items. You are saving artists worldwide from generic, standard sketchbooks." - Katherine, Canada.

Features & Benefits

• Professional paper. The substantial, 300gsm / 140lb fine grain Langton watercolour paper is cold-pressed and sized for wet media such as watercolours, gouache, acrylic and ink. The paper is acid-free and archival, ensuring colours remain as vibrant and true as the day you painted them. 
  
• Lay-flat binding. The Longstitch exposed spine style allows the sketchbook's pages to stay open and lay flat. That means you can work on every part of each page, even right up to the spine. And you won't need to hold the pages down with weights or binder clips.
• Portable and convenient. Lightweight and designed with convenience in mind, this leather sketchbook features a fob that fastens securely over a silver coloured metal stud that keeps the book closed for travel or storage. (It's best to store your sketchbook flat, rather than standing it on a shelf.)
• Durable and hardwearing. Each of the 8 sections of pages are hand stitched through the book's leather cover. That means no glued spines to fall apart, or pages threatening to detach from their cardboard covers. Instead, this sketchbook will be your companion for life. 
  

"I am so delighted with it! It will inspire my sketches on my travels and there are plenty of pages to keep me going. I wanted a special sketchbook - I have one now!" - Carole, Lincolnshire
