Review on Softcover Sketchbook Heavyweight White Sheets by Gelin Battle

I like the small size! The pages were quite stiff at first, so I carefully opened and straightened each page to avoid problems later. The mount held up well without cracking. I love the soft cover too! I use small clips to hold the sides open. I wanted this for small gouache studies without the printing of large pages, so it was perfect for that purpose. I didn't take it outside due to Covid so couldn't test it for normal wear and tear. I just wish there was some sort of strap to close the sketchbook, the thick pages (which I like) mean the sketchbook is open all the time and I have to place it under heavy books to straighten the pages after I'm done drawing . Watercolors and pens also work well, but they dry faster than real cotton paper, so you'll have to work quickly. I will definitely be buying more of these after I fill mine!
