Info

The Beta Softcover Sketchbook is great for both wet and dry media, watercolor and inks. The 270gsm rough textured pages are cold-pressed and are great for a range of media thanks to its substantial tooth with enhanced wet and tear strength. The soft-touch sketchbook is sewn-bound, lightweight, flexible and rugged. It is finished with rounded corners to prevent the edges from fraying.

28 Sheets – 56 Pages, Portrait 8 x 10inches (20x25cm)

Heavyweight paper in a binding that opens flat.

Kundenmeinung

Sadly I'm a bit disappointed. I watched a lot of Youtubers using the stillmann& Birn Beta Sketchbooks for watercolor and swatching. It seemed perfectly fine for my intended use. But it turns out that this book can't deal well with water. It is more like normal Cardstock paper. Soaks up all the water and color in seconds, like a sponge. If you try to rewet the paper or intend to go over certain areas more than twice the paper starts peeling and flaking. Like that wasn't enough you can't see any texture or granulation of the colors. They just look flat. Even colors like "Grenn Apatite Genuine" from Daniel Smith becoma boring and lifeless, when in fact they are beautiful, interesting, multi-faceted and highly granulating colors. The Binding of the book though is really nice and I really like the size and format of this.
