About this deal

This Seawhite Pocket Concertina Sketchbook has 38 pages of 140gsm paper, with each sheet joined together to create a concertina that is great for displays.

I have a handful without dates and as time passes it frustrates me that I don’t know when they were created. Just the thing for quick sketches when travelling I used it frequently and found it most useful for recording panoramic views.

The Concertina A5 and A6 books consist of a continuous surface folded and compiled like an accordion.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Small enough to slip into a handbag, I can make quick sketches with fineliners, so I end up with a book of my own ‘postcards’ as unique mementoes of places visited.If you can, take it with you when you go out with a pencil or crayon and make some quick marks inspired by your surroundings. The concertina design makes it easy to show off your work when it's done by simply opening out the pages along a table or shelf. Concertina sketchbooks use one basic fold to create an interesting layout which can be used for a variety of different purposes. I sometimes take my sketchbooks to the beach to make notes or drawings so the pocket size has become my favourite. Then I choose two or three colours of acrylic paint or ink and loosely mix and scribble paint over the pages.

Using scissors or a ruler, tear along the crease to separate the page into two pieces along the fold you have made. I bought this for my sister who is a paper artist and often makes concertina books so that she can sketch to her heart's delight. This flexible and extremely versatile format allows for personal modification of canvas size from using individual sheets to working across multiple folds for panoramas, landscapes or even complete storyboards!We recommend that this Concertina Sketchbook is perfect for wet art techniques and works especially well with watercolour. The sketchbook features 1 extended folding arm and offers 70 panels to work on; each page is two sheets joined together for extra stability . You can use it for drawing and sketching in pencils, charcoals or in ink, but where it really comes into its own is for display purposes, when you can open the book out along a table or shelf to show off its contents. Also, since the pages flow from one page to another the paintings offer mix and it is difficult to prevent the paint from one page going on to the following page. It makes me think that layering alcohol-based and watercolour markers may lead to the same effect but I haven't tried it yet.
