How to care for your Coffeenotes products to keep them looking beautiful
Coffeenotes products are produced as sustainably as possible, with minimum use of ink and glue and no plastic wrapping or laminates.
We use premium quality papers and boards for our covers, but these will mark and scuff with use. We see this as part of their charm but to minimise marking, extra care should be taken when packing products in a bag.
Our notepads are designed to be tear-off products, but the pages and backboards will become detached if they are handled roughly.
Many of our products are hand finished and as such there will be slight variations.
I have been using this for portrait practice using primarily pencil. The paper surface is smoothish and pencil works well plus blending works well. If using an eraser I have found that a putty eraser words well, to tweak areas and add tone and shade. I have also used ink which works well on the paper with no bleed through, though it was in combination with light pencil marks underneath. I have yet to use watercolour paint or pencils but suspect would handle a light wash of colour.
The medio size sketchbook is great for using when on say a lap tray or held in hand or if you want to draw en plein as. Would fit in average size bag.
The main reason I decided to try these sketchbooks is the use of recycled coffee cups and was intrigued how they would be and so far work ok for what I need as a develop my drawing habit.
Thank you for such an incredibly detailed and thoughtful review of our Medio Sketchbook! This kind of in-depth feedback from an artist is invaluable to us and the community. We're so pleased that it's working well for your portrait practice with both pencil and ink, and it's fantastic to know that a putty eraser performs well on the paper. We hope you do get the the chance to try some light watercolours as the sketchbook is a great option for this. We really appreciate you taking a chance on our coffeecup paper and sharing your detailed experience.
