Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use watercolor and wet media in this sketchbook?
Yes. The 150gsm paper is heavyweight enough to handle wet media on both sides of the page. It works well for mixed media—combining dry media like pencil or ink with light washes of watercolor—and resists buckling from light washes.
Will the paper hold up if I erase a lot?
Yes. The paper is tough and erasable, withstanding multiple erasures without falling apart or pilling.
What's the paper surface like?
The paper has a medium grain surface and is acid-free, chloride-free, and lignin-free, making it archival quality that won't yellow or degrade over time.
Is the binding durable?
Yes. The sketchbook features premium U.S. coil binding with a thick board cover, designed to withstand heavy use and repeated page turns.
What media should I avoid using in this sketchbook?
The paper is best suited for dry media (pencil, ink), light watercolor washes, and mixed media. Heavy or saturated wet media may cause buckling since it's designed for light washes rather than soaking wet techniques.
