## Description

This sketchbook harnesses the potential of plain blank pages, inviting artists of all levels to explore their creativity through sketching and doodling.The pigmented, rubber-compatible paper serves as an excellent canvas for watercolor paints and pencils, making it great for both detailed drawings and bold art pieces. The hard, sturdy cover allows you to carry this sketchbook in a backpack or bag without worry. Designed with the artist in mind, this notebook includes a matching bookmark, offering quick access to your sketches.

Review: It's smaller than standard but give it a try anyway, it will probably grow on you. - I actually gave away the 2nd one I bought when these were on sale because initially I felt like it was just a tad too small. But I've recently been using this sketchbook to do pen (liners) and watercolor and it's great for those types of sketches. It is ok with pencil, but it's not smooth, so I wouldn't buy it for just pencil. It erases just fine- get a quality eraser or even a new white eraser pencil tip and it's fine -works great. If you are having issues you probably are using an H instead of an HB or B pencil (and that is true for all paper). And it does not bleed through with the .3 Japanese marker type pens. Obviously at this price point the paper weight is not the heaviest that is possible, but it works fine. It does bend under water, but then let it dry and it will lay flat again with a slight bend possible if you used a lot of water and haven't placed a heavy weight on the book. I don't know why some reviews say it can't handle washes or multiple watercolor layering - yes it can. I'm a professional artist. I use this for my personal sketches, because it' so small. Could I sell them using this paper? Yes. Would I? No. I use a thinker weight for things I am selling to a client so that they lay completely flat without me having to spend a lot of time putting weight on the paper to get it to lay flat again. I think this price point and this decent quality lends itself to people doing more watercolor based art, for themselves and their practice, because they aren't worried so much about the cost of the paper. I had come back to this page hoping desertcart had come out with maybe a standard 9 x 6. But so far this is the only size I see.
Review: Great little sketch book - I have bought this sketch book several times for my 15 yo and 19 yo. The size is perfect to carry with you (my daughter almost always has one in her purse). And they both like the paper quality.
