Sketchbook Fresh 200×143 mm, 24 pages, 100 g/m², wire-bound (Gnomy cover)

Fresh sketchbook 200×143 mm offers a compact, portable pad with 24 pages of 100 g/m² paper and a wire-bound spine for easy page turning. The size and paper weight make it suitable for quick sketches, studies and practice with pencil, ink and light wash techniques. The Gnomy cover gives a decorative, protective layer while keeping the sketchbook lightweight for carrying in a bag or sketching on location.

Advantages

The 100 g/m² sheets provide a balanced surface that accepts graphite, ink and light water-based washes without excessive buckling. Wire binding allows the book to lie flat or fold back on itself for comfortable single-page work. With 24 pages, the sketchbook is sized for short projects, daily studies or travel sketches. The Gnomy cover combines visual appeal with protection against everyday wear while maintaining a low weight.

Suitable for

• Pencil sketches and tonal studies

How to use

Open the wire-bound sketchbook and turn to a fresh page. Use pencils of varying hardness for line work and shading, or fine pens for ink drawings. Apply light water-based washes sparingly to avoid prolonged wetness that may cause minor cockling; blot or allow pages to dry flat. Fold the back cover behind the current page to create a steady drawing surface when working on location. For multi-media layering, test techniques on a corner sheet before committing to the main page.

Usage recommendations

Store the sketchbook flat or upright in a sketch bag to protect the cover and wire binding. For water-based techniques, keep application light and allow adequate drying time between layers. Use an archival fixative for ink work if you need extra surface protection.
