I took this watercolor sketch pad on a 5 week trip to France and carried it in my backpack everywhere so that I could pull it out to sketch at anytime. I was very happy with the hard cardboard covers on the front and back, and the good quality of the paper for taking pencil, ink and watercolor. The paper is heavy enough where it didnt buckle too badly, and once it dried I simply closed it each night and set a heavy book on top to flatten the pages. The paper took the watercolor very nicely, and despite being carried in my pack constantly while hiking and bicycling, the sketchpad held up very well and my paintings/sketches survived in excellent condition.

My favorite journals, I have many.

best notebook ever

Just perfect.

I cant afford to spend the kind of money Arches wants for their W/C paper. Besides, Ive heard lately that it isnt like it used to be, therefore it isnt as good. When I first started W/C painting, I used this brand and went back to it after trying several others. This one works for me. I would even be willing to use it for any commissioned work. It does everything I need it to do. And the price wont put me in the poor house. I would recommend it.
