As a professional artist and teacher, Erwin understood the benefits of using 100% cotton paper with wet-media but was frustrated with the lack of sketchbook options on the market. Erwin took to crowdfunding, to make his “Perfect Sketchbook” a reality. Erwin’s book used heavy weight 100% cotton acid-free paper that featured stunning hand-torn deckled edge paper and was finished with lay-flat binding for ease of use. The response was overwhelming. Today, Erwin works in collaboration with Etchr - Erwin focuses on design and innovation, and the Etchr team makes the Sketchbook range available to artists worldwide. This sketchbook has 44 pages made of 300g acid-free, archival grade, 100% cotton Fabriano Artistico paper. They open flat and have a portrait format. The pages feature deckle & hand-torn edges while the book itself is casebound and glue-reinforced with a vegan-friendly PU leather cover. The paper is hot pressed meaning it has a fine-grain, smooth surface, with almost no tooth. It is ideal for vibrant washes, drawing with pens and ink wash, and painting fine details. The smooth surface makes it easier to draw and shade with dry mediums. The paper is also acid-free to avoid your art turning yellow and deteriorating over time.
