My Store

A great format of artist-quality sketchbook that can be used to tell individual stories or create one long continuous sketch.

This concertina (accordion-fold) sketchbook features a hard-backed faux leather cover and Saunders Waterford watercolour paper, folded in a zig-zag format that opens into a beautiful visual sequence. Use it as separate pages for individual sketches, or unfold it into one long piece for storytelling, landscape studies, travel journaling, and creative challenges.

Depending on how you work, it can form up to 24 surfaces, or 2 long surfaces if you use both sides. It’s a powerful way to break out of traditional page-by-page sketching and explore something more expressive.

Choose your cover colour and add an elastic pen/brush holder to keep your favourite tool ready to go.
