The Etchr The Perfect Sketchbook: Deckled Edition Square 5" Cold Press brings professional-quality paper into a compact format that is perfect for everyday creativity. Developed in collaboration with Singaporean artist and educator Erwin Lian, this beautifully crafted sketchbook features artist-grade 300gsm, 100% cotton, acid-free cold press paper that performs exceptionally with watercolour and a wide variety of wet and mixed media. Every page is finished with elegant hand-torn deckled edges, adding a distinctive handcrafted character to your artwork while enhancing the premium feel of the sketchbook. The durable vegan-friendly PU cover and reinforced case-bound construction provide lasting protection, while the lay-flat binding allows you to work comfortably across every page. Its compact square format is ideal for artists who enjoy creating wherever inspiration appears.
The cold press surface offers the perfect balance of texture and paint flow, allowing pigments to spread beautifully while maintaining excellent brush control for detailed work. Heavy washes, glazing, lifting, and dry brushing are handled with ease, while the cotton fibres help preserve the brilliance and vibrancy of your colours over time. With 44 pages (22 sheets) that can be painted on both sides, there is ample space for finished paintings, travel sketches, visual journaling, and mixed media experiments. The smaller square format fits effortlessly into a backpack or art bag without compromising on performance or paper quality. Combining artist-led innovation with premium craftsmanship, the Etchr The Perfect Sketchbook: Deckled Edition Square 5" Cold Press is an outstanding companion for artists who value portability without sacrificing professional results.
