What does this product do?
This mixed media sketchbook has been specially developed for artists who want to work with different techniques. The paper is suitable for watercolour, acrylic and gouache paints, so you can combine multiple materials without having to switch pads. The A4 format makes it ideal for studies, sketches and smaller artworks.

Why this textured variant?
The textured paper with a medium grain offers the perfect balance between texture and smoothness. This grain structure helps hold wet paint such as watercolour and gouache, while still being smooth enough for detailed work with acrylic paint. The texture gives your work extra dimension and character.

Benefits of the high paper weight
At 300 grams per square metre, this paper is heavy enough to withstand moist techniques without cockling or tearing. This weight ensures the paper keeps its shape, even when using a lot of water or thick layers of paint. You can experiment freely with various wet and dry techniques.

Practical working tip
The spiral binding at the top makes it possible to lay the pad flat or turn the pages while you work. The sturdy back provides sufficient support, so you can also work without a drawing board. When starting mixed media projects, always begin with dry techniques before moving on to wet materials for the best results.
