What are the paper details?

This sketchbook uses 300gsm (140lbs) acid-free, artist-grade, 100% cotton hot press Fabriano paper. The paper colour is traditional white.

How do I choose between Hot and Cold press paper?

It really depends on your preference:

Cold press paper has a slightly textured surface. It is the paper used most often by watercolour artists because it's great for not only large washes but also for a good amount of detail. Also, the textured paper allows for shaping things much easier!

Hot press paper has a fine-grained, smooth surface, with almost no tooth. It's ideal for large, even washes of one or two colours, drawing with pens and ink, and painting fine details. The smooth surface makes it easier to draw and shade with dry mediums.

Why is acid-free and cotton paper important?

The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton to help prevent the paper from turning yellow or deteriorating over time. The more cotton content a paper has, the better it holds water and the pigment remains much more vibrant. You can use both sides of the paper.

Do 52 pages mean 26 sheets of paper to draw on?

Yes, it does! You can definitely use both sides of each sheet of paper - that's how good the paper is!

What is the size and weight of this sketchbook?

This is a B5 sketchbook (27cm x 18.5 cm) and it weighs around 600g.
