How to use

Use the notebook for pencil sketches, ink drawings and mixed-media studies that require a heavier paper weight. Open the book so it lays flat to draw across spreads and make the most of the full sheet area. For light washes, apply minimal water to avoid over-saturation; allow each wash to dry before adding additional layers. Store the notebook flat or upright in a bag or shelf and close it when not in use to protect the pages and cover.

Usage recommendations

For best results with ink and light washes, test techniques on the last pages to check for bleed-through and drying times. Use softer pencil grades or waterproof pens for detailed line work, and avoid heavy saturations of water-based media to prevent buckling of 120 g/m² paper.
