Description

310 x 222 mm

The Oroblanco Sketchbook features 76 pages of sustainable 200 gsm off-white paper. We use a binding method known as Smyth sewing or Section sewing. This requires 10 folded sections to be machine-sewn in-house into book blocks. This stage is crucial for durability and the books’ lay-flat capabilities. These book blocks are then bound by hand with a thin layer of water-based PVA. We leave our binding exposed as this technique provides maximum flexibility, allowing the book to open completely flat on every single page.

I'm a graphic designer/animator, who has always found most sketchbooks to have a very flat and practically interesting feel and look to them.

Since, acquiring my Oroblanco sketches I can say without a doubt that these sketchbooks, has not only improved my work through the simple texture and paper itself, but it improved my skills of sketching and reference drawing to an astronomical level. Cheers

I usually sketch in the smaller Tangelo sketchbook but wanted something bigger for a forthcoming trip, and this is perfect. I also love the 'seaweed' cover.
Great paper, great product, great customer service.

Lovely books. Not sketch but drawing books.

I like the paper, using for watercolours/ pastels and drawing. Cockles a little after using watercolours and then dries out well, sometimes still uneven surface.
Good quality paper

Lies so flat and perfect for large pieces.

Love this sketchbook. It’s minimal design, high quality paper and the fact there are multiple sizes to choose from simply make it my number one choice. In particular I love the oroblanco for the space it gives me to put down my ideas without any worry about space. This is the sketchbook I’ve been dreaming for.

paper feels great, colored covers are as vivid as shown online, and back binding allows you to draw with the sketchbook laid flat on the table!

I love these sketchbooks! The paper is great and takes a lot of bashing with watercolours, pens, ink, pencils and oil pastels. I am able to use both sides of the paper, although depending on what I’ve used on the front, the back of the paper is a little wrinkly but that is to be expected. I also love the fact that they open out flat and I can work double A4 if I’m doing something big.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful colour and the crafting is second to none. It feels genuinely luxurious and the quality is unmatched for the price. It was also packaged beautifully and there were little thoughtful touches like the stickers and handwritten postcard which I really appreciated. Would only order from here in future!

I ordered two Oroblanco Sketchbooks and they were pretty packaged. I think I can't use them for a time because they are amazing 🫠

loving drawing on these fabulous sketchbooks - the pages ly flat and take a good amount of watercolour. I use fountain pens for the line work and the paper has enough tooth for grip and yet allows for a smooth line too.

thank you. unfortunately one of the sketchbooks arrive with corners damaged, so as an artist that like pristine sketchbooks, this was very unfortunate. : (

thanks

I’m loving this size. I’m printing my 10x8” gelli plate with it so it’s really handy that it sits flat when open and one page is pressed onto the plate.

Excellent quality! It can handle acrylic, watercolour, oilpastels. On top of that the binding is amazing: I have travelled with the big Pith in my rugsack and not a single thread broke. The paper is not very grainy so great also for pencils and charcoal. I am very happy I discovered your sketchbooks!

I have been drawing in my blue Oroblanco sketch book. i do like the simplicity of the book and the stitched spine.
As I live by the sea I walk and collect things which I then want to draw. So that is what’s happening in my Oroblanca, using coloured inks and a dip in pen and nib. Sketching in pencil and some parts with fine paint brushes.
The smooth paper working nicely with ink,
Colours look bright on the paper, enjoying using the book, feels special.
It was a lovely parcel to open, along with my two Oroblanco books, was the little extras and person message. Thank you.
