Ayush Paper Black Sketchbook – A4, Hard Bound, 200 GSM Black Paper

A4 hardbound black sketchbook with 30 pages of 200 GSM black paper.
Ideal for metallics, gel pens, gouache, acrylics, and high-contrast artwork.

Product Description
The Ayush Paper Black Sketchbook is crafted for artists and creatives who love working on dark surfaces with vibrant media. This A4 hardbound book contains around 30 pages of heavyweight black paper, with retailers listing it as 30 pages of 200 GSM black stock in a sturdy hardbound format. The deep black surface offers a dramatic backdrop that makes metallic, white, neon, and glitter colours pop, similar in use to other 180–200 GSM black sketchbooks recommended for white charcoal, gouache, and metallic colours.

The paper is made from recycled, acid-free material, helping preserve your artwork and resist yellowing over time, much like other eco-conscious black art pads using recycled fibres and acid-free treatment. At roughly 180–200 GSM, the sheets are thick enough to handle multiple dry media and carefully applied wet media with minimal bleed-through, so both sides can often be used. The hardbound cover protects the pages and gives the sketchbook a premium, book-like feel suitable for portfolios, gifting, or long-term projects.

Designed for fine liners, gel pens, coloured pencils, soft pastels, gouache, and acrylic highlights, this sketchbook is perfect for lettering, illustration, mandala work, and experimental mixed media.
