Love Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks and Watercolors (Alpha & Beta Series)

album from Stillman and Byrne's Alpha landscape series is always good. I use it for notes, sketches and watercolors for my online skool skool classes. The ideal number of pages for this too. I also like the Beta series sketchbook with a square spiral. Heavier paper, and on that I do full-fledged watercolors, though not exactly on watercolor paper, for plein air painting with pen and ink. More like hot pressed watercolor paper. I wish they would come out with a textured sketchbook for drawing on cold-pressed watercolor paper, but these others are working great right now.

Pros

Cons
  • Crumpled
