Excellent Watercolor Sketchbook

I am very happy with this sketchbook. It's a lot stronger than I expected. Cold-pressed paper, about 90 pounds, but surprisingly strong. I write with icing. Each of the images I've made so far is made up of multiple layers, first wet on wet and then wet on dry. In some places I'd say it's even 9 or 10. The paper can be lifted, cleaned a bit, but not much. As long as you don't do big washes you can create some pretty designs on this paper. Of course there is a twist. You can see it in my photos…

UPDATED: Gluing pages with glue (read my update for happy endings)

I love this sketchbook - I have three of them

Update: I still love this sketchbook. I either prewet my pages or don't wet them and it all holds up well. I use the lighter weight of the two options. I work with other watercolor books (twisted, glued and bound) and still prefer this particular brand of book. I do not know why. I think I prefer the lack of bleeds and that it can handle all the digging I've done with so much layered media. I've completed two full sketchbooks, a large square and an 8x5, and I love both. I plan to continue…
