Many artists are looking for a sketchbook that can handle different techniques well. The most common is a combination of different paints such as watercolors, gouaches, tempera with crayons and various pens and liners. For such applications, we advise against the hardest papers such as Arches Aquarelle, and recommend papers from Saunders and Fabriano. Smoother papers that work well with pens and crayons are also a good choice. Here you will find the best sketchbooks for artists who like to work with different tools.
