Artway Studio - Spiral Bound A4 Mixed Media Sketchbook - Landscape - 60 Sides / 30 Pages - 240gsm - Hardback, Black

The Studio Mixed Media Sketchbook A4 Landscape contains 30 sheets (60 sides) of our heavyweight 240gsm Mixed Media paper. With an off-white colour tone, the paper has a slightly rougher surface texture than typical cartridge paper.The hard wearing surface of the 240gsm paper means that it's perfect for dry and soft media - lightly textured enough for detail work in ink using fineliners and dip pens but with sufficient tooth to hold looser particles of soft graphite pencil or soft pastels.It can also be used for light watercolour paint application but only if you stretch the paper before use - this will help prevent the paper buckling or warping when water is applied. Oil painting is also possible if you first prepare the surface with gesso. Suitable for all dry and soft media: graphite pencil, ink, markers, soft pastelsUK-made, acid-free & fully vegan - we recommend applying fixative spray to all soft media
