I started watercoloring for fun a few months back and just filled my first of these wonderful books. They are the only one I have found anywhere that is heavyweight enough for good wet watercolor, and small enough to fit into a pocket or a satchel along with a portable paint set like I do. The paper does warp a bit if you get it really wet, but not permanently, and once it's dried and the book is closed, it lays back down just fine. (All paper will do this, I reckon, but not all will endure the full wetting that a 3-year-old can impose. I am older than 3, but occasionally let children mash the brush onto it.)
Not going to lie, I did search on Jeff Bezo's webpage to see if I could find anything there in a similar size. I could not, and as I did, the conceit of ordering a "Berborerl" or "Retevloe" or "DARBOO"-branded pad (what's up with those "brand" names anyway??) made me feel empty inside. I returned to this nice webpage, run by real people who I can safely assume are not ruthless profiteers, and ordered up a pair of these pads. I bought my first one in Bandon Art Supply in Bandon, Oregon, and since I won't be up in that neck of the coastal woods too soon, my fresh pads will be here in just a few days.
In the meantime, impulsive watercoloring will be relegated in the pinch to a slightly inferior pad that I use for pencil sketching. It sheds little flecks of paper in a way this fine pad never does. I'll just keep the brush dry and paint some nice little trees on white backdrops instead of sweeping little landscapes. Patience is a virtue.
If you've gotten this far, congratulations. And now it's time for you to make one of these -- or perhaps more than one -- your own. You know what to do.
Very nice quality watercolor notebook! I love the size! It’s easy to take with me!
