Drawing album SMLT A3 format, 20 pages, 120 g/m² paper

Drawing album SMLT A3 format, 20 pages, 120 g/m² paper provides a spacious, neutral surface for sketching, studies and mixed-media work. The A3 sheets give artists extended workspace for composition and detail, while the 120 g/m² paper weight balances opacity and flexibility. Paper surface is suitable for medium-dry techniques such as pencil, charcoal, graphite, ink and light watercolor washes, making the album appropriate for classroom practice, studio sketches and portfolio development.

Advantages

The album contains 20 sheets sized A3, allowing large-scale sketches or multiple studies per sheet. At 120 g/m² the paper resists light erasing and moderate layering without excessive buckling, and it accepts a variety of dry and lightly wet media. The binding keeps pages flat for drawing and eases removal when needed. The neutral surface tone supports accurate value studies and scanning for digital workflows.

Suitable for

• Pencil and graphite sketching
• Charcoal and pastel studies (light application)
• Ink drawing and line work
• Light watercolor washes and mixed-media studies
• Classroom exercises, portfolio sketches and concept development

Key specifications

How to use

Select a stable work surface and secure the album to prevent movement while drawing. Use softer pencils (2B–6B) or charcoal for richer tones and blending; harder pencils (H–2H) for fine lines. When applying light watercolor washes, test on a corner sheet to determine drying behavior and buckling; apply thin, even layers and allow full drying between passes. For ink work, use blotting paper beneath the working sheet if necessary to avoid bleed-through to underlying pages. When you need to remove a page, follow the album's binding perforation or carefully cut along the inner edge to preserve remaining sheets.

Usage recommendations

For archival results and best scanning reproduction, allow watercolor or ink to dry completely before flattening sheets under light weight; avoid heavy wet techniques that exceed the paper weight to prevent deformation and potential bleed-through.
