Stillman & Birn - Nova Series Nova Trio Sketchbook
Experiment across three toned surfaces in one spiral-bound sketchbook
Three distinct toned surfaces in one sketchbook eliminate the guesswork of choosing paper color before you've settled on your approach. Stillman & Birn's Nova Trio provides seventeen sheets each of black, grey, and beige, enough of each tone to develop ideas fully while moving between different moods and techniques. The 150gsm heavyweight stock gets double-sized for enhanced wet strength, handling light washes and ink work without buckling while maintaining the medium grain texture that grips dry media securely.
Black pages reveal the full drama of white highlights and metallic inks; grey provides neutral ground for building value studies; beige warms colored pencil and pastel work naturally. This weight paper sits in that useful middle zone, substantial enough for mixed media experimentation but not so heavy it limits portability. The spiral binding lets pages lie completely flat, crucial when working across spreads or switching between reference material and drawing surface.
Artists working in colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, and light watercolor applications gain immediate access to three different approaches without carrying multiple sketchbooks. The toned surfaces deliver high contrast and make colors glow in ways white paper simply can't match.
