Medium Sketcook (kivar, Navy Blue)

Both serious artists and casual doodlers can use the handsome sketchbooks, now offered in seven colors, four sizes, and with the options of lizard finish or Kivar covers and a sewn or spiral wire-o binding. Many choose the popular large format for sketching outdoors or for toting to art class. Others like to toss the smaller sizes into a purse or backpack. The archival-quality, vellum-finish paper is especially appealing to artists. It will not yellow with time, ensuring the preservation of their drawings, and its smooth surface readily accepts any drawing medium. The spiral-bound version opens flat. All the covers have a leatherlike finish but are actually tough and waterproof.
