Sketchbooks

I've recently started using Lucchetti True-Flat™ watercolour sketchbooks, and I'm really enjoying them.

They're made with 100% cotton, 600gsm cold-pressed watercolour paper, and the clever lay-flat design allows me to paint across two pages without a crease interrupting my artwork.

I've been impressed with how vibrant the colours look on the paper, particularly when painting wet-on-dry and building up layers. The paper also handles lifting and softening edges well.

I'm using these sketchbooks to create a personal collection of paintings, sketches and memories, both in my studio and when travelling.

You can read more about my first impressions, including how the paper behaves with different watercolour techniques, in my sketchbook review.
