One mark of a serious artist is his or her library of personal sketchbooks, kept over the years, filled with notes, sketches, clippings and ideas of a lifetime. Student artists are never too young to start this collection. This classic black leatherette, hardbound sketchbook is the "industry standard."

Not just a pad of paper to be used up...this is a permanent record of an artist's growth, a journal, a source of ideas, a practice tool, a constant companion. 160 sheets of 8-1/2" by 11" bond paper, pH neutral so it wil last for decades without yellowing or becoming brittle, good for crayon, pencil, ink, markers, watercolor sketches and etc.
