Seawhite A5 Concertina Sketchbook with Case

Product Information

I would recommend cutting a square piece of hard cardboard or similar to stick to the front and back covers to make this stronger, but it is not essential. All books feature handmade indigo blue naturally dyed paper covers and an elastic retaining strap to keep your artworks secure.

Seawhite of Brighton Concertina Pocket Sketchbooks are made using high-quality materials within the UK. This Seawhite Pocket Concertina Sketchbook has 38 pages of 140gsm paper, with each sheet joined together to create a concertina that is great for displays. This flexible and extremely versatile format allows for personal modification of canvas size from using individual sheets to working across multiple folds for panoramas, landscapes or even complete storyboards! I was inspired to purchase this by a new friend I had recently made who showed me her concertina sketch book.

I love these concertina sketchbooks in their protective covers and always take one on days out or holidays. I sometimes find myself hunched over the sketchbook with a tiny brush or pencil, my nose inches away from the paper focused on a tiny area. While I don’t share all my sketchbooks I post glimpses, pages and flip throughs on my Instagram account. We recommend that this Concertina Sketchbook is perfect for wet art techniques and works especially well with watercolour. Only problem is that heavy erasing on inked surfaces sometimes could make the ink lift off the paper.

Good quality paper that withstands quite a bit of water, is smooth to sketch on and doesn’t warp to much when it’s been painted. I discovered concertina sketchbooks a couple of years ago and now have a gorgeous stack full of colour.

Our new and extremely popular 100% Handmade Cotton Rag Paper is now available in a range of individually produced sketchbooks including an unusual 'Concertina' binding, a Panorama wide format edition and a traditional A6 Landscape Casebound Hardback.
