Mirage Sketchbook
The Mirage sketchbook is a hardcover watercolour journal featuring an expressive abstract design. Fluid brushstrokes in violet, indigo, green and yellow dance across a crisp white cover, evoking the spontaneous energy of wet-on-wet painting.
Inside, heavyweight 200gsm watercolour paper welcomes every medium with open arms. The textured surface holds water beautifully, allowing pigments to bloom and blend without buckling.

Whether you capture fleeting impressions on location or develop detailed pieces in your studio, this sketchbook adapts to your creative rhythm. The semi-hidden spiral binding lets pages lie flat, while the elastic closure and ribbon bookmark keep your place secure between sessions.

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.
