Sketchbook Fresh Szkicownik 197×124 mm, 48 sheets, 100 g/m², spiral bound

Fresh Szkicownik sketchbook in format 197×124 mm contains 48 sheets of 100 g/m² paper and a spiral binding that allows the book to lie flat. The midweight paper surface is intended for drawing, sketching and mixed-media studies, providing a balance between tooth and smoothness suitable for pencils, ink and light washes. Its portable size makes it convenient for fieldwork, studies and daily practice for students, designers and artists.

Advantages

The spiral bound design enables full flat opening and easy page turning, while the 100 g/m² paper gives enough weight to resist moderate bleeding from ink and light water-based washes. The 48-sheet capacity offers a compact but practical volume for short projects or sketching sessions. The paper surface has a neutral tone and medium tooth that works well with graphite, colored pencils, fineliners and light watercolor techniques.

Suitable for

• Sketching and quick studies with graphite and colored pencils
• Ink drawings and technical sketches with fineliners
• Light watercolor and water-soluble media experiments
• On-site sketches, travel drawing and classwork

How to use

Use the sketchbook as a portable workspace for quick sketches, studies and initial ideas. Start with dry media such as graphite, charcoal sticks or colored pencils to establish composition and value. For ink work, allow drawings to dry between layers and avoid heavy ink saturation near the edges. When applying light washes, use minimal water and blot excess with a tissue to prevent buckling; the midweight paper tolerates light water-soluble techniques but is not intended for heavy or prolonged soaking.

Usage recommendations

Store the sketchbook flat or upright in a dry place to maintain paper flatness. Pair it with HB–2B pencils, water-soluble colored pencils or fine-tip ink pens for best results. For mixed-media pages, consider using separate sheets or a dedicated heavier-weight sketchbook for wet-intensive techniques.
