Spirax Sketch Book Side Opening 272 x 360mm 48 Sheets

The sketch book contains 110gsm acid-free cartridge paper. Acid-free paper resists yellowing over time, making it suitable for artwork you want to keep. The weight handles pencil, charcoal and light dry media well without excessive show-through.

Yes. Every sheet in this sketch book is perforated along the spine edge, so pages pull out cleanly and evenly. This makes it straightforward to submit individual drawings, mount finished work or share pages without cutting or fraying.

A side-opening book flips pages left to right like a standard notebook, which many artists find more natural on a desk or easel. It also means the full height of the 272mm dimension is available uninterrupted at the top of the page. Top-opening books are more common for portrait-format work.

It is close but slightly larger. Standard A3 is 297 x 420mm, while this book measures 272 x 360mm. The format offers a generous working area for large-scale sketching without being as bulky as a full A3 pad.

At 110gsm, the cartridge paper is best suited to dry media including pencil, charcoal, pastel and light ink line work. Wet media such as watercolour or heavy ink washes may cause the paper to buckle, so a dedicated watercolour paper pad would be more appropriate for those techniques.

Yes, the listing is for one sketch book containing 48 sheets. If you need multiple books for a class set or studio stock, contact our team to ask about bulk pricing options.
