Daler-Rowney Ebony 150gsm A3 Lightly Textured Portrait Hardback Sketchbook, Perfect Bound, 54 White Sheets, Ideal for Professional Artists

Daler-Rowney products touch the lives of artists in every step of their artistic journey, from early childhood drawings to abstract canvases to adorn walls. We endeavour to inspire artists of all ages and open up new opportunities for their need to create. In 1783, Richard and Thomas Rowney opened premises in central London where they started selling perfumes and wig powder, which was the beginning of the Rowney Company. As the fashion for wigs soon changed, the Rowney brothers re-focused their talent and concentrated on producing artists' colours. The idea was successful and they soon began supplying famous artists such as Constable and Turner.

The business has passed through generations of the Rowney family. Between 1945 and 1960, Daler developed a variety of products such as pads (including the Red and Yellow Series A that is still part of the range), canvas panels, stretched canvases, mountboards and artist’s luggage.

If you are the diverse artist on-the-go, the Daler-Rowney Ebony Sketchbooks are broad, beautiful and finely-textured, with a high ink resistance that is soft to the touch. Get stuck into a set of acid-free papers that help you to make intrinsic marks from amateur to pro, one pencil sketch at a time. The Ebony range proves itself as an artist’s old-reliable, being both lightly water-resistant for watercolours and bringing out bold strokes with pencils, pastels and inks. The soft, light textures of each page can help you to achieve a unique depth and fine retention of your details as you flick to practice, compose and conceptualise new pieces. With a hardback cover to protect your work from the elements, 50 sheets of pure luxury are simply waiting to be filled.
