Strathmore 460-55 400 Series Visual Watercolor Journal, 140 LB Cold Press, 5.5x8, 22 Sheets , White

Not what I expected. Like a blank notebook.

This used to be the best journal! Now it is cheaply made, you should call this what it is, inferior quality bogus paper.

It is perfect for practicing my watercolors on. Great hard cover and nice thick paper. No bleed through so I can use both sides.

ottima qualità della carta e di bello spessore, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Non adatto agli acquerelli

Great mixed media journal

Great for beginner painters but the paper does noticeably warp after a few washes. Its bearable for sketches but keep that in mind if that bothers you. Other than that its a good sketchbook with lots of good quality paper and a decent size

This was for my granddaughter and she likes it

This is an awesome little booklet for watercolor painting. I bought it for my daughter, who is learning to use watercolor pencils. The page size is perfect for learners who dont want to necessarily use a large piece of paper for their experiments and creations.

I bought this based on the paper size. Its hard to find good watercolor paper in a spiral bound book this size. I found that the paper took color well and overall the product was well made. The drawback to the paper is that it warps too much. Once I applied water to the paper it started warping and created pools of water. Not conducive to creating even washes of color. Now I did use the paper while still in the book. The paper wasnt perforated so removing it would be difficult.

This little book has served me well over the years. I make art / writing journals out of these and art galleries buy them. They are not cheap, when I finish with them! The paper is inexpensive, textured and 130 lbs., so it makes for a good surface both for painting and sketching, as well as for writing. I love the way it feels. I have been making my journals since 2010.
