This sketchbook features upcycled vintage book covers protecting 64 pages of 100% cotton Arches Cold Pressed paper, which is renowned by professional artists throughout the world. The front book cover has a delicate black embossed sprig design in one corner. The exposed spine elegantly displays the hand bound Coptic stitching, which allows the book to lay flat when open.
The inside covers have been adorned with decorative feather endpapers with gold foil accents. The back cover does have a small pocket for tucking away swatches and other inspiration. This pocket initially comes with 3 strips of Arches paper, so you can test your paint colors on scrap paper before applying them to the pages of the sketchbook.
