This Pink Pig Watercolour Sketchbook is spiral bound, allowing the pages to lie flat so that artists and students can work across two full pages. It is also more durable than glued bindings. The paper, known as 'Ameleie' is a beautiful English watercolour paper, specially made for Pink Pig at Burneside Mills in Kendal, at the heart of the Lake District. It is a high quality paper made using pure materials to high archival standards. Ideal for painting with watercolour but also works well when used with acrylics, gouache and inks as well as sketching and drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastels.

The Pink Pig Watercolour Sketchbook contains 25 leaves of 270gsm acid-free watercolour paper and has a practical, hard back cover. The cover can act as a support while painting as well as providing robust protection for your work.

Pink Pig Sketchbooks are made in Yorkshire.

The paper quality is nice and it's pretty robust too. However, it is a bit of a struggle when working with watercolours with this paper, as my layers tended to reactivate often. I personally prefer using inks and gouache in this sketchbook since there's not much bleed through with thin layers of ink.
Nice sketchbook, probably not best for proper watercolour pieces. (Posted on 01/03/2021)

For the price you cannot expect much, But the paper cannot be considered watercolor paper IMO. But it is very inexpensive, so considering that you kinda get your moneys worth. (Posted on 17/03/2018)

What I like: The book is well made, really pretty and the price is unbeatable. The paper is nice and thick and beautifully white.
What I don't like: it is not easy to paint in this book with watercolor. Especially it is impossible to apply a layer of paint without reactivating the color underneath (much more than any other sketchbook I used).
I love the book for what it is but if you are planning to do serious watercolor paintings, maybe opt for something else.
