## Description

Stillman & Birn Alpha softcover sketchbooks are flexible, yet strong with sewn bindings and rounded edges. White, heavy weight 100lb paper has a toothy, medium grain surface that is suitable for all dry media as well as ink. The paper also has internal and surface sizing, allowing it to accept light washes as well. Paper is pH neutral, lignin and chloride free. Sketchbook measures 3.5 x 5.5 inches, with 48 sheets, dark red cover.

Review: Soft bound sketchbook - I like the size and weight of this and took it on holiday. Worked well with neo 11 watercolour crayons. Does crinkle with watercolour paints but still does well. I have two of these 5 stars.
Review: Spendy but lush! - Lovely toothy, creamy coloured paper, but be aware this is not watercolour paper and watercolour blooms and pools on it. Fine for washes, but not great for layering or glazes, even gouache goes on a bit patchy. On the other hand, pens of all types flow nicely on this, so it’s a great paper stock if you want to write as well as paint and draw. Expensive though!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spendy but lush!
*by H***X on 1 November 2024*

Lovely toothy, creamy coloured paper, but be aware this is not watercolour paper and watercolour blooms and pools on it. Fine for washes, but not great for layering or glazes, even gouache goes on a bit patchy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous value.
*by L***A on 22 February 2020*

This sketchbook takes quite a few layers of coloured pencils. Fabulous value.
