Strathmore 460-55 400 Series Visual Watercolor Journal, 140 LB Cold Press, 5.5x8, 22 Sheets , White

I usually go for Bees or Arches, but for throwing this in the backpack for a weekend or week, it’s the perfect size. I just clip my travel watercolor palette onto the opposite side, landscape or portrait, very convenient for outdoors. I’m hooked on it !

The paper is in perfect quality and shape. It doesnt bend after heavy washes and I do quite heavy washes, just starting in watercolor. The edges of the thick cardboard covers are not in great shape. Im not picky enough to send it back, but the edges are bent and fringed and busted. EDIT: Ive had this for a while now and the paper really is great. One thing I particularly like is that the edges dont bleed paint onto the back of the paper! Ive added some pictures of the work Ive done for reference.

Good practice quality paper. I like that its so portable. Im almost through it and would definitely purchase again

The paper is good quality for stamping and coloring with Copics, just place a card or vellum between sheets. Love that it lays flat.

I love this watercolor journal. Good size to travel or to do small watercolor sketches. The paper can hold a good amount of water and the colors react good on it. I will buy again

It is the perfect size for sketching. The paper is very thick. I am able to use both sides and put down color as well without it bleeding through.

Nice journal

Perfect for watercolor sketches.

This is the most wonderful small watercolor (or whatever) book. I love the fact that I can paint or sketch a small picture then blow it up if I want. The paper will handle any mixed media that I can think of. The inside cover is a rich leather looking brown. Very nice. I am amazed too at the price. I will be ordering more for my stash!

Works well for journaling, painting at home.
