Sketchbook Fresh 148×105 mm 24 sheets 100 g/m² wire-bound Gnom blue

Fresh sketchbook in a compact 148×105 mm format designed for portable drawing and quick studies. The book contains 24 sheets of 100 g/m² medium-weight white paper and is wire-bound for easy page turning and flat opening. The cover features the Gnom blue design and the size makes it convenient for carrying in a bag, pocket or sketch kit. The paper surface is suitable for pencil, charcoal, ink washes and light mixed-media work that do not require heavy wet layering.

Advantages

The wire-bound construction allows the sketchbook to lie flat and to be folded back for single-handed use. At 100 g/m² the paper balances tooth and smoothness, providing sufficient support for dry media and controlled wet techniques such as light ink or watercolor washes. With 24 sheets in a compact A6-like size, the sketchbook is lightweight and portable while offering enough pages for multiple sketches or studies. The Gnom blue cover gives a consistent visual identity, useful for organizing several books by design or subject.

How to use

Open the wire binding and fold the book back to work on a single sheet or keep it flat to use both sides. Use pencils, graphite sticks and charcoal for sketches, applying varying pressure to achieve different tonal values. For ink washes or light watercolor, test a corner of the sheet first to check absorbency and buckling; apply minimal water and let sheets dry between layers. Sheets can be removed cleanly along the wire binding if you need to share or frame individual drawings.

Usage recommendations

Store the sketchbook flat or upright in a dry place to prevent warping. When working with wet media, use a backing board to reduce buckling and allow pages to dry fully before stacking. For longer-term preservation of finished works, consider mounting or scanning removed sheets and avoiding heavy layered wet techniques on this medium-weight paper.
