TRAVELER'S Notebook Refill (012) Sketch Paper

Forty pages of heavyweight sketch paper with perforation at every page. Designed for drawing, painting, and tearing out to mail as postcards.

Why This Exists

TRAVELER'S Company created this refill for people who sketch what they see rather than write what they think. The paper is substantially thicker than standard MD Paper—heavy enough to handle pencil, pen, and light watercolour without buckling or bleeding through. Every page is perforated, which means once you've finished a drawing, you can tear it out cleanly to send as a postcard, frame it, store it in a portfolio, or simply remove it to reduce bulk in your notebook.

The perforation is deliberate design philosophy: sketches are meant to be shared, displayed, or archived separately from your notebook. This refill embraces the ephemeral nature of travel drawing—you capture a moment, finish the sketch, tear it out, and the page is gone but the memory remains. The smooth, textured surface provides enough tooth for pencil and charcoal work without fighting against fine pen lines or watercolour washes.

What Makes It Good

• Heavyweight sketch paper — substantial enough for watercolour and mixed media
• Smooth, textured surface — works with pencils, pens, markers, and light washes
• Perforated pages — tear out cleanly for mailing, framing, or archiving
• Fountain pen friendly — minimal bleed-through despite wet media capability
• Saddle-stitched binding — lies flat for comfortable drawing across spreads

Who This Is For

Built for artists who sketch on location, urban sketchers who document cities through drawing, travellers who prefer visual journals over written ones, and anyone who wants their TRAVELER'S notebook to be a proper sketchbook. Perfect for capturing architecture, landscapes, cafe scenes, or quick portrait studies, with the option to tear out finished work and send it home. The perforations mean you can work through the notebook chronologically but still extract your best pieces for framing or gifting without destroying the binding.

Specifications

Note: This refill is noticeably thicker than standard paper inserts due to the heavyweight stock. It's the trade-off for having paper that can actually handle wet media without disintegrating—fewer pages, but pages you can properly draw on and tear out when finished.
