    I love this sketch book! The pages are thick and the cover is very sturdy. The book is very big and I love it! If you are looking to travel with it, though, it is a very large sketch book and probably would not be easy to carry with you all the time.

    Durable feeling cover with slightly linen color paper. Not bright white, if thats what you want, but nice weight paper.

    This Journal in very good condition has coffee stains on the front of the binder, the band with information around the journal, the front 2 pages, and the stickers on the front wont come off. I was very disappointed in the quality based on the price and very good condition! I feel this journal should have been priced half the price I paid.

    I love this watercolor sketchbook. The 400 series paper is the same I buy in larger pads and it works really well as long as you don’t overwork it when it’s really saturated with water which will cause some pilling. The hardcover is amazing and the size is great. I’ve used regular watercolors as well as watercolor pencils in it and the amount of buckle compared to other pads I’ve tried is really minimal. I brought it with me on a long road trip and was able to use it easily in the car and hotel room which was awesome. I’m going to add these little books to my list of art supplies to always have on hand because they work so well for me. Attaching a video so you can see the thickness and color/size of the paper more accurately. Two things I would change- you really can’t use both sides of the paper fully. I would maybe use one side for watercolor and the other for ink drawings in a pinch so for painting you’re really only getting half the advertised number of sheets. I would also love if the pages were perforated so they could be easily removed if wanted. I often remove pages to scan my work or rip out pages I don’t like and in this book it’s really hard to get the pages out. The price is a bit high, I though about it a long time before finally purchasing but I’m glad I did. In my opinion this book is worth the price for its quality and convenience.
