Why 200 gsm instead of heavier paper?
Unlike heavier papers that make sketchbooks bulky, our selected 200 gsm paper provides the sturdiness needed for washes without the extra weight. It is the ideal balance for professional artists on the go.
Better than Wirebound
Our lay-flat binding is a game-changer for creators. Unlike spiral-bound sketchbooks, it allows for seamless double-page spreads and perfect scans or photos of your artwork without a central obstruction.
