    Good mixed media Journal but would be better with heavier / thicker sheets. The good point is the hard cover though.

    This is good paper for field work in water media. Its heavy enough and the way the pad is designed - hard cardboard backing on both ends of the stack - makes for solid painting without an easel. Ive used up two of these already on trips and look forward to more. I doubt that this is your super high quality high cotton content paper, or it would have said that, so please do not expect Arches premium stock. This is just very good paper that is probably pulp and probably has some kind of sizing. The size is just right for my bun bag field watercolor studio.

    I bought this to start practicing with watercolor and i love it! The size is perfect for practicing strokes and small paintings. Itll also fit in a purse or backpack easily so you can bring it with you on the go. The only bad thing Ive noticed is that when Ive used too much water, the page often curls up as it dries. Then, the watercolor starts pooling in the crevices causing darker shades in these areas. But with practice this wont happen anymore :)

    Im an extreme beginner watercolorist. My worst fear is ruining a very expensive piece of watercolor paper with a terrible painting. Ive found that this binder of 140 lb cold press watercolor paper has given me enough paper so I feel I can experiment without fear of ruining one piece of watercolor paper. Also, since all my paintings are together in one place, I can easily see what worked and what didnt work. I found the same binder with smaller size paper, but I liked this size the best.

    Very nicely made, the paper quality is outstanding. Easy to carry around and the binding is sturdy as well. The pens and pencils I use in mine look vivid and beautiful in the book.

    I have tried many. This is the best because of the quality of the paper. It can get very wet without buckling.

    Bought several of these little visual journals as gifts for some very artistic teens. They loved them! These are just the right size to use in road trips and for small scale paintings. I like the spiral pages but I thought having a slightly scored edge might be nice if they wished to tear out any pages (like to give me a picture, just sayin.) I liked that the white front cover can be removed, leaving a more sophisticated brown cover to still protect the front page. Wish there were more pages, but I guess Ill just have to buy more if requested. All in all, very happy to have come across these visual journals on Amazon. They made some budding artists very happy!

    was on the school supply list, was surprised by how thick it was. Was not expecting it to be as good as it was, honestly.

    I really love working in these and the paper quality is great but it was supposed to have 22 pages and only came with 21. This is the first time that I actually counted the pages (tho Ive bought many) and I now wonder if this has happened before. I would have given 5 stars if it had all its pages. I still would recommend as they hold up to wet washes better than some others. It is an economical paper that holds up well. I will be more mindful of checking them out if I buy any more. Added May 23 2016 After contacting the manufacturer they sent me a replacement and I was surprised to find it had an extra page. I will buy all of their journals from now on. Great quality good price and wonderful with wet in wet. Love it

    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
