Fabriano Vergatone Notebook | #FABRIANO pt. 3(3)

Throughout history, Fabriano has been a premier name in paper-making with a reputation for quality, style, and excellence. In my 3-part series, I explore three contemporary Fabriano products and why that reputation is assured.

In this video, the third of the three, I share my purchase of Fabriano's Vergatone Notebook, named after the vergato or "laid" treatment of the books outside paper cover.

Mark, I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this series on Fabriano products! You picked some wonderful gems with which to treat yourself! I hope we get to see some of your creations in these special books in the future.

Thank you so much for the shoutout, my Friend! I’ve been working on some new series paintings and really enjoying myself. Many blessings to you and yours, nAn

Yay! I'm so glad another fellow YouTuber found this amazing sketchbook. I picked mine up at the Fabriano boutique in the Munich Airport shop (remember airport??) a year ago and am obsessed with it.
Cult pens carry this book (I, alongside my viewers may have sold out their stock a couple of times...) and they shipped before Brexit for free over 70£, so if that's still the case, I'd stock up on these from their website. Thanks for the beautiful review, I hope more people will discover this sketchbook ❤️

[AurorasArtWorld]

I just love that type of paper! Thick and chunky! Lol.. Great job on this series, Mark and congrats on your over all purchase!! You deserve the best! 💖

[ChristinaTodd]

Thank you for sharing these treats with us. Now I want one too.

[ArtistJane]

This is so tempting to buy! I’m always on a search for a great watercolor sketchbook! When you talked about sniffing and spidey senses, you made me think of my days working at Borders. There was a guy who would come in almost every Tuesday when we got the new magazines so he could smell them! 😂

[BeckyTregear]

I enjoyed your eloquent description of the book's texture and smell. I definitely need to find myself one of these! A great trio of videos overall.. 😊

[MirandaWatsonArt]

This notebook looks really appealing for what I like to do. I'll keep it in mind!

[essietangle]

Glad you said dip pen toward the end. I wondered why you weren’t using one, but that will come. I am afraid that if I invested in something like these I would just look at them and never get started 😊 thanks for the video, some🐇 cares. Boy am I ready for spring💐

[LetterNumbers.]

Great video, loved the bunnies. Irit Landgraf used one of these on her channel for a daily color challenge and the results were strikingly beautiful.

I may have to splurge for mother's day and get a few to justify the shipping. Have a wonderful and amazing day!

[paranoiaprincess]

I haven't watched this video yet, but I'm a bit of a paperphile so I'm really enjoying this series so far, thanks!

[MedaHalmaciu]

Fabriano is probably may favorite brand of paper. Loved a glimpse onto your brush holder. Do you have a video on that?

[MadebyDawn]

Thank you so much Mark for your video. I appreciate your support. I would love for you to describe the feeling of the books in your hand, like the texture of what you are feeling, please?

[notmetagaming]

I am obsessed with paper lately, and just came here from another channel who who was talking about this paper and her enthusiasm made me buy 2 notebooks from cultpens halfway through her description, and now I'm here watching your intro writing this lol thanks for reviewing this paper

Edit: your presentation is fantastic, everything about the video. The voiceover, the editing, the way you film and what you film, your drawing/painting. Subscribed and very happy to have found your channel

[sailorfan]

2023 checking😊
How’s it going with the sketchbook???
I used most mediums except Oils/oil sticks.
Definitely will repurchase them.❤❤❤❤

[leanbeankelliqueen]

Ok so we came from the same pod!! My husband and kids call me a paper sniffer...and I luv to FEEL PAPER!

[TinaGaspard]

I haven't seen much about the Vergatone notebook, outside of Irit Landgraf's channel. I am OBSESSED with the paper in this. Since you seem to be a big paper guy, do you happen to have a recommendation for a similar paper OR even better, any inside info on which Fabriano paper they use in the Vergatone notebooks??

[thefrostedblueberryart]

I’m excited to see this is actually very affordable for the quality here in England! £28 delivered from one of my go to online shops. But I can’t find anywhere that has an indication of gsm for this notebook - Mark, may I ask if you can describe what gsm you think it is? Although it’s affordable for the quality I would like to have a better idea of thickness as I really do love using wet media and doing so on both sides of the page. Many thanks in advance!

It makes me irrationally upset that they left violet out of the rainbow and put in two greens instead
