Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use watercolor and wet media in this sketchbook?
Yes. The 150gsm heavyweight paper is designed for wet media on both sides of the page. It's strong enough for light washes of watercolor, ink, and gouache, though it works best with light applications rather than heavy saturation.
Will this sketchbook work with fountain pens and calligraphy pens?
Yes. The medium grain paper surface is suitable for fountain pens, calligraphy pens, and other dry media. The toned grey paper provides high contrast for ink work.
Can I erase pencil marks from these pages?
Yes. The paper is erasable and tough, so it withstands multiple erasures without damaging the surface. This makes it good for sketching and underdrawing before adding ink or other media.
Is the paper acid-free and archival?
Yes. The paper is acid-free, chloride-free, and lignin-free, which means your work will resist yellowing and degradation over time.
What size is this sketchbook and what's the binding like?
The sketchbook is 5 x 8 inches in portrait orientation with a softcover. It features a premium U.S. sewn binding and deluxe covers built for serious, frequent use.
