I am new to watercolour and therefore take this review with a grain of salt. The paper is lovely in terms of its weight and the dimensions are perfect for my needs, but the paper has a tooth to it which I didn't expect and I am having trouble warming to...but as we all know, it all depends on personal preference.
One needs good watercolour paper to learn from and as a beginner I’m trying all kinds out. Strathmore has a good reputation. The cost was a bit high but we can’t all be Americans lol.
The journal is a nice soft cover with off white coloured paper. I’m looking forward to using it. I think I’ll use this journal exclusively for my new schminke watercolour set. For learning test and trials.
