Paper is ok for watercolour. Seem to be sized equally on both sides of the sheets so no problem painting on all pages, although sizing can be uneven (but not so much that it is a consistent issue). I’ve found it’s well suited to mixed media (graphite or pen and then a light wash over it) rather than attempting to layer glazes.

My biggest issue with the sketchbook is that not all the sheets are sewn into the cover, only half of them are, and then an additional sheet is glued on top of it. This means that every now and then you get a full sheet without binding showing and it can be great for larger paintings BUT the sketchbook can’t take a lot of abuse. If you open it wider than flat (as in, above 180° angle, which can happen if you’re not working on the flat surface of a table) the glued on sheet might tear off. I’ve used about 11 pages so far and I’ve had to re-attach with masking tape every single glued on sheet as they all eventually came loose.

I guess if you like the “well weathered” look of a sketchbook this won’t matter too much but I suspect this can quickly become an issue when travelling (unless you plan ahead and bring some tape along) (Posted on 12/01/2021)

I'm currently on my third of these sketchbooks and I like them a lot! The paper is good for pen and watercolour sketches and can handle two or three washes really good, despite being without cotton. I like their size and how they open flat. (Posted on 16/04/2020)
