7" Square Accordion Sketchbook Duo | Hummingbird Edition
A new shape for an Etchr favourite.
You asked us for a Square Accordion Sketchbook, so we made one. Or rather, two.Â
The Hummingbird Edition introduces our first-ever 7" Square Accordion format, pairing Hot Press and Cold Press 100% cotton watercolour paper so you can explore the same unfolding format across two very different surfaces.
Paint across a single page, a few folds, or let your artwork unfold into one continuous piece.
We’ll produce every sketchbook ordered before this project ends. Your Hummingbird Edition will ship by early December 2026, just in time for the holidays.

FAQ
Cotton paper is the best surface for watercolour and is also great for mixed media. 100% cotton paper is capable of taking multiple heavy washes, stands up well to damaging techniques like dry brushing, and helps keep the pigment looking vibrant over the passage of time. The surface provides the perfect level of brush resistance while allowing the pigment to flow beautifully across the page. Those that "upgrade" to 100% cotton paper often credit it as having had a greater impact on their art than the quality of paint that they use.
Cold press paper has a slightly textured finished, or more "tooth". It is often a go to for watercolour artists as the textured finish can provide a little more water control. It is also great for those looking to accentuate the effect of pigment granulation.
Hot press paper has a slightly smoother finish which is great for adding detail, particularly for those using pens or pencils with wet-media. When a hot press paper is made with 100% cotton, it handles washes well and provides for a beautiful, crisp finish.
We offer a two-year limited warranty, beginning at the time of purchase on all Etchr products sold. We warrant our products to be free from manufacturing defects in materials, workmanship, and failure or breakage of parts/full products that render them non-functional.
What are the paper specifications?
This sketchbook uses acid-free, 100% cotton artist-grade cold press paper. The paper tone is traditional white. Paper thickness is 230gsm (~110lbs) for Cold Press and 220gsm (~105lbs) for Hot Press.
Why is acid-free paper important?
The best paper is acid-free and has a high amount of cotton. Using acid-free paper helps to prevent the "yellowing" that can happen in paper over the years, meaning your art will stand the test of time.
Can you paint on both sides of the paper?
Yes! Both the Hot Press and Cold Press papers are designed to be used on both sides, giving you plenty of room to fill your Accordion Sketchbook from beginning to end.
