These sketchbooks use acid-free, 100% cotton artist-grade paper. The paper tone is traditional white. Paper thickness is 230gsm (~110lbs) for cold press or 220gsm (~100lbs) for hot press. Why is acid-free and cotton paper important? The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton. Using acid-free paper helps to prevent the "yellowing" that can happen in paper over the years, meaning your art will stand the test of time. The more cotton a paper has, the better it holds water, the more durable it is, and the more vibrant the pigment remains. Can you paint on both sides of the paper? Yes you can. Each book has 52 page (or 26 sheets) and each page can be painted on thanks to the quality of the paper. What sizes are the sketchbooks? Small (6" x 6" or 15.2 x 15.2cm) Medium (8" x 8" or 20.4 x 20.4cm) How much does each sketchbook weigh? Small (400g / 0.9 pounds) Medium (800g / 1.8 pounds) Designer Collaboration Our Sketchbook range was developed in collaboration with Singaporean artist Erwin Lian.
