Sketchpad Grieg by Mayland-Burde, black faux leather cover, unlined A3

Grieg Skitseblok sketchpad by Mayland-Burde is a large-format A3 pad with a black faux leather cover and unlined sheets. The clean, unruled paper provides a neutral surface for freehand drawing, sketching, ink work and mixed-media studies. The rigid cover offers protection for pages during transport and storage, making this sketchpad suitable for studio use, classes and on-site sketching.

Advantages

Unlined sheets eliminate distractions from rulings, allowing precise shading, ink lines and mixed techniques. The sturdy cover safeguards drawings against creasing and dirt, while the binding keeps sheets secure and accessible.

Key specifications

How to use

Open the sketchpad and work on individual unlined sheets using pencils, charcoal, ink pens, markers or light washes, keeping in mind the paper weight and surface texture when applying wet media. For transport, close the cover to protect finished pages; remove sheets carefully along the binding if you need to mount or scan them. Store the pad flat or upright in a dry place to avoid warping.

Usage recommendations

Choose dry media such as graphite, charcoal and ink for best results; test heavier wet media on a corner sheet first. Use fixative spray for charcoal or pastel works before stacking sheets. Close the cover when transporting to prevent abrasion and bending.
