The Acorn & Mire Watercolour Field Journal: A Premium Sketchbook for Nature Artists
Perfect for watercolour sketching, nature illustration, and field art, this robust journal features heavyweight paper ideal for wet media. Our unique flip-top, landscape design gives artists the freedom to work in their preferred orientation, making it perfect for outdoor sketching and botanical illustration.

- Watercolour journaling and ink drawings
- Outdoor art workshops and sketching trips
- Mixed media nature documentation
Artist-Focused Features:
- Best for: sketching with a softer pencil, or ink. Not suitable for a fine nibbed fountain pen, or very hard pencils. Our B-grade pencils, and locally foraged inks are superb on this paper.

- 40 pages (20 sheets) of premium weight paper from the UK's oldest still-in-operation paper mill, recycled.
- Versatile flip-top for portrait or landscape orientation
- Hand-letterpress printed cover using wood type in our Dartmoor, Devon studio
- Special first page to overcome blank page anxiety
- Size: 120mm x 205mm - perfect for field sketching (it's a little narrower than an A5 notebook)
- Sustainability: UK-made recycled paper for all papers. Plastic-free, glue-free binding that can be entirely recycled through home recycling pickup.
- Colours: Devon Green, Gorse Yellow, Flint Black-on-Black, and Flint with white (for our Cornish cousins)

- Heavy-weight paper made in England from recycled coffee cups
- FSC-certified materials
- Plastic-free, recyclable binding
- Traditional letterpress printing with vintage type
- Available in Devon Green, Gorse Yellow, Flint Black-on-Black, and Flint with white
Our Commitment: Every Acorn & Mire sketchbook supports UK paper mills and traditional craftsmanship. A portion of sales goes to forest, hedgerow, and peatland regeneration projects. Each journal is printed using heritage letterpress techniques in our Devon studio, offering an authentic alternative to mass-produced art supplies.
All of our papers are recycled, and British where possible. We can provide you specific details on certifications each paper has, and the mill where they were made.
