Leather cover shown not sold here.

(This is the exact same item which was formerly known as the Rollabind Sketchbook.) Sketchbook with paper sampler.  Holds 8 1/2"x11" paper.  Includes 2" Velcro (hook) attached to interior of sketchbook and a 1/2" wide piece (loop) to use to attach your art supplies.  Sketchbook measures approximately 9"x11 1/2".  Plastic covers are rigid enough to draw while holding on your lap.  This setup is NOT sold in stores. You may want to get a punch to punch your own paper, but in case you don't have one, we do sell pre-punched paper refills.  This is not your standard 3-hole punch system! 

Please note when deciding on what supplies to store in the sketchbook, each item needs to be small enough that it would normally fit completely inside of your back jeans pocket (about 3/4" thick and 4"x5").  Any larger than this and the system might not close correctly.

Comes with 100 pcs. Neenah Classic Cotton 100% cotton writing paper (watermarked).  Does not include art supplies, accessories or leather cover.

This Fountain Pen was designed for sketching!  They ARE flexible, but the nib is not solid gold like the Falcon, so they are a whole lot less costly!  The iridium nib provides a smooth, enduring stroke.  Stainless nibs in most fountain pens can feel scratchy, and since most are designed for writing, they don't usually allow the ink to flow enough for line work.  Comes in three sizes (Extra-Fine, Fine and Broad).  Glenn's preference is the Extra Fine, but at this price you may want all three!     Includes a suede pen wrap, an ink converter and 3 cartridges of indelible ink.

Soar to new heights with the Namiki Falcon.  Sleek in its unique style, this jet black fountain pen is a remarkable feat of engineering and elegance.  The Namiki Falcon’s most extraordinary feature is its flexible, "hooded" 14K gold nib that gently yields to the user’s angle.  Modest pressure on the tines makes a bolder line than when a light touch is used and a thick/thin effect comes from the tip itself.  We know of no contemporary pen with a more flexible nib.  The size of this pen would be considered standard, at 5 3/8" long, capped. The diameter of the grip is comfortable for almost all hands.

All of the Namiki pens come with a converter (for bottle filling) and a blue ink cartridge in a small leather box.  This is the only cartridge/converter system, other than Sailor, that offers adequate ink flow for broader or faster writing - which happens to be perfect for drawing! See the fountain pen guide for more information on use and care of fountain pens.

Cotman Watercolors have been specially developed for the watercolourist who requires quality transparent watercolors at an economical price. Cotman watercolors possess good transparency with excellent tinting strength and working properties. Winsor & Newton keeps the price affordable by replacing some of the more costly pigments with less expensive alternatives. This popular pocket sized plastic box features an integral mixing palette in the lid and contains 12 assorted Cotman Watercolor half pans and a popular Sceptre gold collapsible pocket brush.

Comes with Velcro strips so you can keep it in your Rollabind/Circa sketchbook. 

There are some differences between this set and the Winsor & Newton Artist's set, which is made of pigments that professional artists prefer to work with.  We strongly recommend that you learn with the higher quality Windsor & Newton if your budget allows, however you can always start with this set and by the time you need to replace the half pans, you'll know if upgrading to the Artist's half pans is right for you.
