How to use

To use the KOH-I-NOOR Sketchbook, simply open the cover to a fresh sheet and begin your drawing. The paper is optimized for dry media, so ensure your tools are sharpened or prepared accordingly. When working with charcoal or soft pastels, you may wish to use a fixative spray once the drawing is complete to prevent smudging. After finishing your work, you can either leave the pages in the sketchbook for safekeeping or carefully remove them if the binding allows for individual sheet extraction.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the A5 size meets your specific project requirements.
• Ensure the paper weight is appropriate for your preferred drawing tools.
• Consider the intended use, as this product is optimized for dry media rather than wet painting techniques.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, store the sketchbook in a dry environment to maintain paper integrity. If using graphite or charcoal, consider placing a protective sheet between pages to prevent accidental transfer of pigments between drawings.
