Figure 1: My little 15 x 15 cm Goldline Travel album, still wrapped in plastic, waiting for me to do some art.
We have a small range of the Goldline travel albums by Clairefontaine.
These come in a range of shapes (square or rectangular) and sizes (from 10.5 x 14.8 cm (A6) all the way up to 30 x 30 cm)*. See Figure 1 for the smallest size we have (15 x 15 cm) and Figure 2 for a stock image of the largest 30 x 30 cm square one!
These hardcover books have a handy elastic strap to hold them shut for drawing and painting on the go.
They contain 180 gsm art paper that is suitable for both wet and dry techniques.
Their natural fabric covers are fully customisable – actually designed for you to paint on them!
Goldline albums in use
On the Clairefontaine website, you can watch a video that shows what can be done with these interesting books.

Also, check out this Sketchbook Review of the Clairefontaine Goldline Natural books by Liz Steel to get more information about how these Goldline albums perform. I own a small one shown in Figure 1 and have been meaning to test it out, but being a very amateur dabbler who rarely sits down and actually does art…well, it will be a while before I can report back. So, in the meantime, have a look at her detailed review!
*These sizes are what we currently have in stock: a greater range may be available internationally.
