Strathmore 460-55 400 Series Visual Watercolor Journal, 140 LB Cold Press, 5.5x8, 22 Sheets , White

Great watercolor journal at reasonable price.

Its a great small sized journal/sketchbook for watercolours. The front cover is dark brown with a bit of a sheen to it and the cover you see in the picture with all the text is just a piece of paper that can be ripped off.

This paper felt great at first. Nice thick quality, good texture. When doing a few simple paintings, it was fine, paint goes on well. However, if you are reworking or adding too many layers, the paper starts to shed/pill/fall apart. I was so sad to discover this. I was happy with the price and the paper at first seemed great, but after ruining one of my paintings by reworking on this paper, I wont be going for this brand again. I like the portability of it and that it is a spiral as opposed to the paper blocks of other brands, but other brands are far superior quality.

As a student this was the perfect paper. It was reasonable and of good quality. Will buy a heavier paper when I learn more.

A daily journal!

The sketchbook came with a huge oil stain on it! So disappointed.

Good journal and I love the page size.

I bought my wife a set of watercolors and this notebook, she loves it

Favorite product. Have used several.

I like these for my on the go bag. Great size and good quality.
