    I really like the Strathmore 400 series watercolor blocks and journals and this is not the same paper even though it says watercolor paper and 400. Its sized quite differently. This paper is quite brittle, buckles substantially with watercolor and is very stiff. Be prepared to encounter a much cheaper paper in this visual journal. I was very surprised. And if youre familiar with wood pulp paper, trying to flatten it after getting it wet and it dries warped is nearly impossible. I might recommended this paper for non-wet media. I dont know, its just not that great. Im even rethinking my initial 2-star review because I just cant recommend it for any level of artist, be it beginner, student, or intermediate. Especially not for beginner who might think this paper is as good as it gets for watercolor. It isnt. Spend more for a better paper and youll be delighted. A better choice would be to get the 400 series watercolor blocks or the soft or hardcover 400 series watercolor sketchbooks. Or go crazy with the 500 series 100% cotton watercolor paper which is wonderful. The stuff in this visual journal is far below even subpart than those alternative choices in the 400 series and the beautiful 500 series.

    Absolutely gorgeous paper - lovely and smooth. I have used it for a pencil portrait and the lovely finish of the paper helped me immensely. A very generous amount of sheets, as well - gret value for money.

    The watercolor paper in the journal is fantastic for mixed media! I paint with acrylics, collage, watercolor... whatever I want, and the pages dont buckle or feel like theyre going to fall apart. Also this 5 x 8 size is perfect for tossing in a bag for art-on-the-go. Ive tried other journals that say theyre for mixed media but they cant handle the heavy duty abuse that I put them through. This one is a winner for me.

    Perfect for what I wanted and needed. Theres even a pretty cover under the gaudy paper brand sheet thats pretty solid so you shouldnt have problems perching on your knee or something if you need to. Good quality, good price.

    He does sharpie drawings and the pages are nice and thick--his drawings never bleed through. He can bring them anywhere...they are perfect spiral bound durable travel size. Excellent value for money. I think he has 20 filled books!
