Description
This is a Gamma Sketchbook 9x6in hardbound 150gsm ivory vellum sketchbook system. The paper is Ivory and the surface is Vellum. The sheet count is 62 sheets/124 pages. The paper has both internal and surface sizing, which retards water absorption and keeps pigment on the surface. The hardbound bindings are designed to be broken in, and the spines get eased in and then lay completely flat, accommodating both two-page drawing layouts and flatbed scanning. The sketchbook is bound in the United States.
For all dry media and multiple washes. Paper shade: Ivory. Surface: Vellum. Sheet count: 62 sheets/124 pages. With both internal and surface sizing, these papers have exceptional wet strength that supports the application of multiple washes. Similarly, just as the paper's sizing retards water absorption, pigment stays on the surface of the sheet. The result: remarkably glowing colour. Stillman & Birn bindings are equally rugged. The hardbound bindings - stiff when new - are designed to be broken in. The spines get eased in and then lay completely flat, accomodating both two-page drawing layouts and flatbed scanning. Bound in the United States, this sketchbook system offers artists a choice of three paper surfaces: • Vellum - distinctive tooth, suitable for all dry media, and will also accept multiple washes• Cold Press - Substantial tooth, enhanced wet and tear strength, suitable for multi-media artwork• Smooth - Suitable for pen & ink, coloured pencils, water-based markers as well as watercolours
