The Daler-Rowney Ebony Sketchbook is an ideal choice for students and professional artists who require a durable, high-quality surface for dry media and light mixed-media work. Featuring 160gsm natural white cartridge paper and a robust hardback cover, it offers excellent protection for your creative projects on the go; however, while it handles light watercolour washes well, it is not designed to withstand heavy, saturated wet media applications.

This paper is primarily designed for dry media and light washes; alcohol markers may bleed through the page due to the nature of cartridge paper.
While the 160gsm paper handles light washes, it is not a dedicated watercolour paper and will not withstand multiple heavy washes or vigorous scrubbing.
This version is portrait oriented, making it ideal for figure drawing and vertical compositions.
Yes, Daler-Rowney cartridge paper is typically acid-free, which helps prevent your work from yellowing over time.
The sketchbook contains a standard count of high-quality pages suitable for daily sketching; please refer to the specific product SKU packaging for exact page counts as these can vary slightly by batch.
Because it is wirebound, you can tear out pages along the spiral if necessary, though it is designed to be kept as a bound collection.
Reduce the water-to-pigment ratio and use a dry-brush technique instead of heavy washes.
Apply a light coat of workable fixative spray between pages or insert a piece of glassine paper as a barrier.
No specialized setup is required; the sketchbook is ready for use immediately upon purchase. To maintain the integrity of your work, store the book in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent paper yellowing over time. While the hardback is durable, avoid placing heavy objects on top of the wire binding to prevent the spiral from deforming. When working with watercolour, apply paint in thin layers to ensure the best results without oversaturating the paper.
