Fabriano – 1264 – Spiral Bound Sketchbook – Mixed Media Pad – A3 – 300gsm.

Mixed media paper gives you a place to combine drawing and painting within the same project. Develop a composition in pencil, introduce colour and compare the effect of different marks. Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media is intended for both dry and wet techniques, including coloured pencil, ink, gouache and watercolour. Use a trial page to establish how your chosen materials interact before layering them across an important piece.

Working with this product

Plan the order of your layers carefully. Let wet passages dry before adding delicate pencil details, and test whether an earlier mark moves when water is introduced. A small sample can reveal more than a finished composition about the balance between brushwork and line. Keep notes beside those trials to record the sequence of materials. Avoid judging a mixture while it is still wet, because the appearance can change as it dries.

Choosing and using this format

The 1264 range separates drawing, watercolour and mixed media papers by their intended use. This listing is for the specific paper type, weight and size shown above. Choose it around the techniques you use most often, rather than page size alone. Keep one page for testing new materials so you have a reference within the same pad when starting another piece.
