Review: Good Quality Watercolor Paper Journal - I do a lot of watercolor journalling, usually using bound watercolor journals but saw these wire bound watercolor journals and thought "why not?" The journals came quickly and I was very surprised at the nice quality of the paper. Many times a journal is supposed to have 140lb paper, yet when the journal comes, it is lighter in weight. I would say this is definitely 140lb Cold Press watercolor paper. Strathmore makes a good paper which is sized nicely and holds the paint well. It does not bleed through to the other side of the page. The wire bound makes it easily lay flat and stay flat without having to clip the pages down like in a bound journal. The wire binding also makes it much easier to remove a page from the journal should I wish to do so for framing. The size 5-1/2" X 8" makes it easy to carry with you for travel journalling and will fit into a standard 5"X7" cut mat. Behind the front "cover page" is a brown "leather look like" cardboard cover (front and back cover). The price was very reasonable for the good quality of the journal. I bought two and when complete would buy them again.
Review: My Favorite Sketchbook (2+years of use) - I have bought these multiple times over the past few years and I absolutely love them. I've taken the smaller one backpacking/hiking/on planes. It's small enough to paint while flying or in a tent when it's raining. The one in the pics has pressed flowers in Alaska and brought them safely back on a plane with the help of a binder clip. The pages stained a little bit but the paper held up. The second pic had deep purple stains from the flowers and you would never know thanks to a white paint pen. Maybe some minor creasing but once I started painting it smoothed out completely. That's definitely outside recommend usage and it took it like a champ. If anything the stain just shows how well it holds pigment. The paper is really thick (140) and has enough durability and texture to paint on both sides. That's uncommon with most watercolor paper. Huge win, especially for traveling. I tend to use the little one for travel and the larger ones for sketching. They're cheap enough that I don't feel guilty just sketching on them. Then if I want to paint it later I can because its good paper. The cover is surprisingly durable as well. Having a hard cover means the pages don't bend in transit. Like I said these are hands down my favorite sketchbooks. I'm rough on my stuff and I know I can trust these with whatever I put them though.
