2316mk is a 23 × 16 cm landscape sketchbook based on the 2316 format, constructed with a dual-paper interior.

The book combines 127 GSM textured white paper with 120 GSM kraft paper, creating two distinct surfaces within the same volume. The white sheets offer a clean, neutral base for line work and drafting, while the kraft sheets provide a darker ground suited to tonal contrast and layered dry media.

A central divider separates the two paper types into clear sections, keeping each surface distinct while maintaining a unified format.

Description

2316mk is a 23 × 16 cm landscape sketchbook based on the 2316 format, constructed with a dual-paper interior.

The book combines 127 GSM textured white paper with 120 GSM kraft paper, creating two distinct surfaces within the same volume. The white sheets offer a clean, neutral base for line work and drafting, while the kraft sheets provide a darker ground suited to tonal contrast and layered dry media.

A central divider separates the two paper types into clear sections, keeping each surface distinct while maintaining a unified format.

Construction & Materials

The block is hand-sewn in sections and opens flat across its full width. This lay-flat structure ensures the entire landscape spread remains usable from edge to edge.

Both paper stocks are acid-free. The 127 GSM textured sheets support pencil, graphite, fineliner and pastel with clarity, while the 120 GSM kraft paper holds dry media with visible contrast against its warm tone.

Paper behaviour

The white paper has a light surface texture, offering control for line work and writing. The kraft paper introduces a warmer tone and darker ground, allowing highlights and layered media to stand forward.

Both stocks resist bleed-through and remain stable across repeated handling.

Suitable For

- Comparative studies on light and dark grounds
- Layered drawing across white and kraft surfaces
- Sequential drafting with tonal variation
- Storyboarding and landscape composition
- Visual research that benefits from contrast
