Paper almost too rough
Paper so rough, paint “skips” on the page. Usually have to apply 2-3 coats to cover well. Next time, I’ll look for hot pressed; it’s much smoother.

LOVE
One thing i have become very aware of as I try a zillion different watercolor papers, journals, etc. is that every company sizes (sizing = coating that allows the paper hold watercolor properly without sucking it up with a sponge) paper VERY differently. And different artists prefer different sizing. Because this is a cellulose paper (wood pulp and not cotton) the paint sits on the surface a bit more, and when it does absorb, it dries lighter and less vibrant than it would on a cotton paper where it would absorb and retain its vibrancy and texture. Some people like cellulose because it's easier to "work" the watercolor and control it than it is on cotton, which tends to suck in the pigments into its fibers right away.So this is a good little journal- I felt for a cellulose paper, it absorbed the watercolor VERY well (like some cotton papers I have used) but it still had the workability of cellulose, meaning I could rewet and move the color after it had dried. My only small criticism is that the color lightened considerably when dried on this paper.

Pretty pocket sized watercolor sketchbook
It’s a good size for plein-aire watercolor sketch painting. The paper is a cold press one on both sizers. It’s not super rough but definitely not hot press.

Heavy, textured watercolor journal
Great watercolor journal, pages sewn in well. Texture holds water nicely, love to watch the paint move around. Loop on the side too big for a pencil however perfect for my water brush. This 5” x 5” is perfect for testing designs, swatching out paints, keeping in your purse, etc..

Beautiful Little Art Journal
I'm really impressed with this little book. It has a sewn binding and will lay flat. The pages are a nice weight watercolor paper. This would make a really nice gift--but I'm keeping this one! :)
