How to use

Use the KOH-I-NOOR A5 sketchbook for preparatory studies, practice sessions and field sketches. For best results with pencil and charcoal, work with a range of hardnesses and use a blending stump or tortillon where needed. When applying light ink washes, test on a corner page first to assess the paper’s reaction; avoid heavy wet washes as the paper is optimized for dry media and light washes. Turn pages carefully to preserve edges and keep finished sheets flat under weight if you wish to preserve them.

Usage recommendations

Store the sketchbook flat and away from direct moisture and prolonged sunlight. Pair the pad with a pencil set, kneaded eraser and portable sharpener for sketching on the go. If you plan to use heavier wet media, consider mounting individual pages on heavier supports or transferring finished work to heavier paper.
