Key Features & Benefits

1. 25% Cotton Content: Unlike standard wood-pulp paper, the inclusion of cotton fibers allows for better water absorption, smoother color blending, and improved pigment retention without warping.
2. Cold Pressed Texture: The versatile “mid-grain” texture provides enough tooth for dry techniques (like charcoal or pencil) while allowing for beautiful watercolor granulations and lifting.
3. Archival & Acid-Free: Your masterpieces are safe from the test of time. The acid-free composition prevents yellowing and ensures your colors remain as vibrant as the day you painted them.
4. Premium Stitched Binding: The journal is expertly stitched to allow it to lay flat when open, providing a seamless surface for panoramic spreads. The durable cover protects your work from the elements.
5. Multi-Media Versatility: While optimized for watercolors, the 200 GSM weight is robust enough to handle Gouache, Acrylics, Ink, and Tempera without bleeding through.

Ideal For

• Watercolor Painting: Excellent for layering, wet-on-wet, and dry brush techniques.
• Urban Sketching: The A5 size and hardbound feel make it perfect for sketching on location.
• Gouache & Acrylics: Provides a sturdy base for opaque paints.
• Art Journaling: Ideal for a mix of writing and painting.

Pro Tip

To get the most out of the stitched binding, gently press down on the center fold to help the book lay completely flat. This is particularly useful for wide-angle landscape paintings that span across two pages!
