Keep Every Creative Idea in One Dedicated Place

The Derwent Academy Visual Art Diary A4 Portrait gives students, hobbyists and aspiring artists a reliable, well-made home for sketching, colouring, and creative development.

Art journals only work when the paper holds up to the medium. This diary uses 110 gsm acid-free cartridge paper across 120 pages, a weight that handles pencil, charcoal, and light mixed media without ghosting through to the next page. The A4 portrait format suits classroom work, studio sessions, and portfolio development equally well. Derwent Academy products are a trusted starting point for secondary and tertiary art students.

A durable polypropylene front cover and sturdy board back mean you can draw on the go without a hard surface underneath. The double wire spiral spine opens flat and folds back a full 360 degrees, so left-handed and right-handed users both work comfortably without the binding getting in the way.

Suitable for students aged 14 and above through to adult hobbyists, this diary is a practical, low-fuss choice for anyone who takes their creative practice seriously. Sold individually, it makes an easy addition to an art supplies order.

FAQs

The 110 gsm acid-free cartridge paper is well suited to pencil, graphite, charcoal, and light mixed media. It is not designed for heavy wet media such as watercolour washes, which may cause the pages to buckle. For best results with wet media, a dedicated watercolour pad is a better choice.
Yes. The double wire spiral spine folds back a full 360 degrees, so the binding sits flat on either side of the open page. This makes the diary comfortable for both left-handed and right-handed artists without the spine getting in the way.
The Derwent Academy range is recommended for aspiring artists and hobbyists aged 14 and above, including secondary and tertiary art students. It is also well suited to adult hobbyists who want a quality diary for regular creative practice.
The front cover is made from rigid polypropylene (PP), and the back is a sturdy board. Together they provide a firm drawing surface, which means you can use the diary on your lap or on location without needing a separate clipboard or hard surface underneath.
