Sketchbooks
Sketchbooks are the artist’s portable surface: bound and spiral books with quality paper for pencil, ink, charcoal, pastel and watercolour, in many sizes, hard or soft cover. The paper inside decides the book: light and smooth for dry work, heavy for watercolour. The usual starting point is an A5 or A4 sketchbook for everyday drawing.

A sketchbook is where the work really happens: warm-ups and studies, travel pages, ideas sketched down fast, and finished drawings kept together in one place. It goes in the bag and comes out on the train, in the park, in front of the subject, which is why so many artists measure a year in sketchbooks filled.
The paper decides the book. Dry-media sketchbooks hold light, smooth paper for pencil, ink and marker. Watercolour and mixed-media books carry heavy sized paper of a higher weight, which takes a wash without buckling and stands up to wet and dry work on the same page. Toned sketchbooks come in grey, tan or black, giving a mid-value ground where light and dark are added from the middle and highlights read at once. The weight and the tooth follow the medium: smooth for pen and pencil, more bite for charcoal and pastel.
The binding is the other choice. Spiral books lie completely flat and fold back on themselves, so the whole page is free to work on and easy to carry. Hardbound books protect what is inside and last for years in a bag, and thread-bound ones open flat across the spine for drawing over a double spread. Formats run from pocket books for the road to large studio sizes, in portrait, landscape and square.
Art & Colour carries sketchbooks and notebooks across dry, watercolour and mixed media, in hard and soft cover, spiral and bound, in a wide range of sizes.
