The Acorn & Mire Watercolour Field Journal: A Premium Sketchbook for Nature Artists

Perfect for watercolour sketching, nature illustration, and field art, this robust journal features heavyweight paper ideal for wet media. Our unique flip-top, landscape design gives artists the freedom to work in their preferred orientation, making it perfect for outdoor sketching and botanical illustration.

Ideal For:

• Nature artists and botanical illustrators

Artist-Focused Features:

• Best for: sketching with a softer pencil, or ink. Not suitable for a fine nibbed fountain pen, or very hard pencils. Our B-grade pencils, and locally foraged inks are superb on this paper.

• Hand-letterpress printed cover using wood type in our Dartmoor, Devon studio
• Special first page to overcome blank page anxiety
