The colours of Bath and Somerset on a sketchbook

Whenever I’m researching a new Colour Palette, I spend a lot of time walking around a place, looking at buildings, signs, landmarks and all those little details that give somewhere its character. I take plenty of photographs, but I also love to sketch the places I visit. It makes you stop, look properly and notice things you might otherwise walk straight past.

So it seemed only right that the Colour Palettes should become sketchbooks too.

Each Colour Palette Sketchbook is an A5 notebook featuring one of our distinctive six-colour designs, with 60 sheets ready for your own sketches, drawings, doodles, notes, plans and ideas.

I sketch the places I visit while researching The Colour Palette Company. Now you can too.

Use it as a travel sketchbook, artist’s notebook, drawing pad, journal, student notepad or everyday ideas book. It’s a colourful and practical stationery gift for artists, illustrators, designers, students, architects and creative people, as well as anyone who simply loves putting pen or pencil to paper.

Made in the UK using sustainable FSC-accredited materials, it’s designed to be carried around, scribbled in, drawn in and filled with ideas.

Take it out. Look around. Sketch something.
