Sketchbooks

Sketchbooks are the best way to work in the field and also help you keep all your work in one place. For wet media, choose a watercolour sketchbook with around 200gsm paper. Choose a cold press surface if you want some texture to show off the pigment or a hot press surface for working in detail or with fine line pens. Spiral covers are easy to fold back and with a stitchbound binding, it is easier to work across the gutter for a double page spread. Popular sketchbooks for travel are the light weight STILLMAN & BIRN Softcovers. Most popular watercolour paper is HAHNEMUEHLE and HAND-BOOK. A good value option is SEAWHITE of Brighton, available in 225gsm, 350gsm and 200gsm travel sketchbook.
