Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use watercolor and wet media in this sketchbook?
Yes. The 150gsm heavyweight paper is strong enough for wet media like light washes, gouache, and ink on both sides of the page. The paper is double-sized for enhanced wet strength, though it's best suited for light washes rather than heavy saturation.
Will this sketchbook work with fountain pens and ink?
Yes. The paper is specifically designed for ink and works well with fountain pens, calligraphy pens, and quill pens. It holds ink nicely and has a medium grain surface that supports layered ink techniques.
Can I erase pencil marks from these pages?
Yes. The paper is erasable and tough, withstanding multiple erasures without damaging the surface, making it suitable for sketching and underdrawing work.
What's the difference between the beige, grey, and black paper options?
All three are 150gsm toned paper in the Nova series. The toned color (beige, grey, or black) creates high contrast and makes colors appear more vibrant. Choose based on your preference for how you want wet media and ink to display on a colored background rather than white.
Is the binding durable for regular use?
Yes. The sketchbook features a premium U.S. coil binding and thick board cover designed for serious, heavy use. The combination of durable binding and 150gsm paper makes it built to last through extensive sketching.
Is this paper acid-free and safe for archival work?
Yes. The paper is acid-free, chloride-free, and lignin-free, which means artwork created on these pages will be resistant to yellowing and deterioration over time.
