Stillman&Birn offers a wide range of sketchbooks in 3 different finishes, all of which are particularly well designed, elegant and durable.
Manufactured in the USA for over 65 years, these notebooks include a wide choice of papers available in two weights, several colours and surface types to suit both wet and dry techniques.
S&B sketchbook papers support wet media techniques, even layering multiple washes. Their wet strength is due to their (vegan-friendly) double sizing. This type of internal and surface sizings slows down both water and pigment absorption. As a result, pigment dries with exceptionally vibrant color.
All these features make Stillman&Birn notebooks particularly popular with urban sketchers all over the world.
The Delta notebook features a hard cover and fine-grain 270g ivory paper, ideal for artists seeking a warm hue for dry and wet drawing, watercolour, ink and mixed media.
The Epsilon notebook, with its soft sewn binding, has a smooth, white 150g paper suitable for dry techniques, light washes, ink and mixed media.
