Stillman & Birn : Beta Softcover Sketchbook : 270gsm : Cold Press : 8x10in (20x25cm) : Portrait
The Beta Softcover Sketchbook is great for both wet and dry media, watercolour 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. (Posted on 14/03/2019)Rating - Review by jennifer
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.Rating
The Binding of the book though is really nice and I really like the size and format of this. (Posted on 24/01/2019)- Review by Feefo
Great size lovely paper, no marker bleeds so far and no paper warping after heavy water use (Posted on 27/08/2018)Rating - Review by Feefo
Looks good and can't wait to get started but must finish the hardback one first! (Posted on 04/01/2017)Rating
