The Newcastle Colour Palette A5 Notepad

Newcastle Sketchbook: Take the Toon to the Page

Whenever I’m researching a Colour Palette, I spend a lot of time walking around, photographing and sketching the details that give a place its character. Newcastle certainly gives you plenty to work with.

This A5 sketchbook features six shades inspired by the city, from Bridge Steel and Moor Green to Castle Stone, Newky Brown and Toon Army Black. Inside are 60 sheets ready for sketches, doodles, notes and ideas.

Made in the UK using sustainable FSC-accredited materials, it’s a colourful Newcastle gift for artists, designers, students and anyone who likes putting pen or pencil to paper.

Take it out. Look around. Sketch the Toon.
