This large Moleskine sketchbook provides plenty of space to draw but is also great for sketching on the go thanks to its elastic closure, which keeps it neatly closed, and rounded corners that don't get bent like square ones can.. We found the ivory-coloured paper to be smooth but with enough tooth for most dry media.

Ohuhu is known for its markers (see below), but it also makes good sketchbooks for them. The paper is thick enough for markers to glide across it easily, and a translucent sheet stops bleed-through, although you'll be able to see markers on the reverse of each leaf.

This unusual paper option is more like gesso board than conventional paper, with the texture of the clay surface being quite toothy. We found it to be great for watercolour painting since it can handle heavy washes, and colours look wonderfully bright.

One of our favourite easels has 16 per cent off for Cyber Monday. It's easy to assemble easel and has strong and moveable hinges and rubber grips that provide resistance. It can handle relatively large larger canvases too.
