Watercolor Journal, 3.5x5.5”, 140 LB, 300 GSM, Cotton Paper, Cold Press, 24 Sheets, 48 Pages, Watercolor Paper Sketchbooks for Use As Travel Notebook Mixed Media Pad On The Go

What a great little sketchbook. It isn't 100% cotton as I've realized after purchasing, but it works just as I would expect watercolor paper would. It's 140lb which is perfect for how small this sketchbook is. There is barely any warping of the pages when wet media is used. I'm using gouache and watercolors as my main mediums for this journal and it was exceeded my expectations, especially for something for the price. Great value for a little sketchbook. It holds paint very well, and doesn't absorb into the paper so colors stay resilient and true to what is on my palette. I use it for Pleinair painting and travelling with something this small makes this easy to use in a travel set up. It's small enough to fit in your pocket or bag and if you have some travel brushes or small brushes it's easy to just stop and paint on the go. The perforated edge is a nice touch if you're considering giving the painting out or making cards or postcards. This is well worth the money spent. Will be buying it again one I'm finished with this journal.

You CAN use this for sketching, but it is MEANT for water color. The paper weight - guessing 140lb. It does not warp. The book lays flat when fully opened for landscape. It will fit in the average shirt pocket. Well made. Has a book marker and a elastic band to keep the other pages out of the way. The pages are perforated and the other two corners are rounded. It has a handy pocket to store your finished work or you can just leave them in the book. You can paint on both sides of the textured paper without bleed through. Expect to pay more for real water color paper rather than a book that implies "Sure, you CAN use it for water color". This one is made for water color and a good value for your money. We use ours to capture the moment- its not finished art. We've found that taking the time for a quick sketch while on a trail resting on a rock or fallen tree is far better memory than snapping a photo. I will order again.

Small travel sketch pad. Good quality paper. Palm size. Good stuff for a price. Perfect for watercolor.

I purchased this journal awhile ago and found it quite nice compared to other journals this size in this price range. It’s not the highest quality watercolor paper but it’s adequate for hobbyists and personal use The journal cover is made from canvas material and is durable and compact. You can paint landscapes using two pages folded out or just use each page individually. No bleed through in my experiences using it Overall, a quality watercolor journal at a very affordable price

I just rec'd my book and LOVE it. 25% cotton (at least it has some). The pages are heavy and lie flat. It has a slightly bumpy texture, though it is smoother in feel than most cold pressed watercolor paper. The paint I am using is vibrant and did not soak through to the other side. (I'm using Nicholson's Peerless watercolor). I am planning to use this book as an alphabetical story of my upcoming trip to San Francisco. I had to double up on the last pages for W/X, Y/Z. Otherwise each two page spread has a large color dot and a single letter. I chose the brown outer fabric which is a nice mahogany color and the elastic band is soft and seems sturdy. Cute little envelope in the back for ephemera. I don't know why people are complaining about the price. It is a solidly bound book with sew-in pages. Even the thin end pages are nice and did not soak through when I painted on them. I paid $11.00 for it and think it is worth that price.

Chef kiss. The pages are thicccc. I was able to use acrylic paint and watercolors without messing up the pages or having bleeding. it’s been one of the best travel sketchbooks I’ve used. The pages are even perforated but not in a flimsy way you’d have to put some effort into taking it out which is a plus. Overall would totally buy again and even in a bigger size. ** update** it can handle himi gouche paint like a mf proooooo gahhhhh I love this company now.

Great play book. I love using watercolor sketchbook to try out new techniques or to do color swatches and this is a wonderful way to just practice doing trees or flower blossoms. I would recommend this to anybody to just try to make designs in, try small parts of new strategies or techniques or a new watercolor palette. Paper quality seems just fine and with a couple of binder clips it stays open nicely. Great value for money.

I love this journal. It's the first journal I have ever bought and I think it's wonderful. It's a little smaller than a lot of journals, but I've only been watercoloring for a year now and feel comfortable with this smaller size. I am very pleased with the quality and would recommend it to anyone.

Great quality! I bought the green one which was discounted and the package arrived neatly packed.

Trés joli bien qu'un peu cher, je n'avais pas bien estimé la taille, c'est très petit mais de qualité.

Il prodotto mi è arrivato con una semplicissima rilegatura liscia nera anonima. Restituito

Shipped quickly. Paper good for watercolour sketchbook

厚みのある紙質なので、水彩画を勉強中の私にとってとても助かります。これくらいの厚みのあるものはなかなかなく、製本仕立てで、すごくうれしかったです。
