The Etchr TPS Signature Series B5 Hot Press Sketchbook is crafted for artists who appreciate an exceptionally smooth painting surface without compromising the performance of premium cotton paper. Designed in collaboration with Singaporean artist and educator Erwin Lian, this professional sketchbook showcases Etchr's commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and artist-focused design. Inside are 44 pages of 300gsm, acid-free, archival-quality, 100% cotton Fabriano Artistico hot press paper, renowned for its smooth finish and outstanding durability with watercolour, ink, gouache, and mixed media. Each page features beautifully hand-torn deckled edges that enhance the character of every artwork, while the reinforced case-bound construction and elegant faux-leather PU cover provide lasting protection. The lay-flat binding allows artists to work comfortably across every page, making it equally suited to studio practice and creative travel.
Unlike cold press paper, the hot press surface offers a remarkably smooth finish that excels when creating crisp lines, intricate illustrations, botanical studies, detailed ink work, and controlled watercolour techniques. The premium cotton fibres withstand repeated washes, glazing, lifting, and layering while preserving the brilliance and depth of colour over time. With 22 sheets that can be painted on both sides, artists enjoy generous creative freedom while making the most of every page. The practical B5 portrait format strikes an ideal balance between portability and workspace, making it perfect for sketching, finished illustrations, visual journaling, and professional presentations. Combining Fabriano Artistico paper with Etchr's signature craftsmanship, the TPS Signature Series B5 Hot Press Sketchbook offers a refined creative surface for artists who demand precision and uncompromising quality.
