Perfect

January 5, 2016

Format: Hardcover

I wanted to start watercoloring. I got the idea to get a pocket sized journal and do one tiny watercolor painting each day from a friend. I wanted the daily planner for 2016 that had blank pages, but couldn't find it at my Blick store. I saw this and decided to try it instead.

First off, 60 pages actually mean 30 double-sided pages. I know, this is pretty crappy advertising. Just know that going in to this pocket sketchboook that if you want 60 pages, you'll be watercoloring on both sides of the page. I had planned on doing this anyway, so it did not deter my purchase. The paper IS impressive. It absolutely can handle a watercolor painting on each side. I've included an example of the first two watercolor sketches I did. They are on opposite sides of the same page and were heavily layered.

Some have complained about the top binding. I actually prefer this as I'm not trying to paint in the edges nor do I have difficulties positioning my hand for brush strokes. I find the top binding is easier to hold open while working.

The size is perfect. I use a Van Gogh 12 color travel palette, also pictured and I just use a rubber band to hold them both together as they are almost identical in size.

Others have criticized the ability to remove pages from the journal. I can't speak to that, as I don't intend to remove pages. I will high-res scan any pieces that I like to frame or sell as prints. Aside from that, a razor blade or exacto knife should remedy any difficulty removing pages and I would assume most artists/crafty folks have one lying around for various projects.

The price for the paper quality and convenience is fair in my opinion. Ten bucks is on the low end of what I'm used to spending on various supplies and this should last me 2 months.

Overall, it's a great quality book that works absolutely perfectly for my needs.

Compact and holds water well!

February 26, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I'm still a beginner at watercoloring and this is my first notebook, so naturally, I am going to have novice skill on water control. But this notebook handled it all very well (what a trooper!). It does, however, start to crinkle after so much water has been applied, removed, and re-applied, etc, but overall, it's an amazing notebook to paint on.

When you open it up, it has an area where you can write your name to claim it as your own. At the end of the notebook, there's a small pocket. There's also an elastic band that wraps around to keep your notebook closed!

Awesome

After seeing all the hype and all the pro artists who use this journal, I couldn't help but buy it! It works wonderfully and is high quality, with stitch binding that allows it to lay flat and a hard cover with an elastic to protect your sketches. The paper is 140lb/300gsm and cold pressed. It works very well for both sketches and full pieces.

Great size for a compact watercolour sketching kit!

April 10, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I happen to really like the paper that Moleskine uses in the watercolour sketchbooks. There's just enough tooth to take the paint and it's heavy enough not to warp a lot if you do a wet wash (the page will curl a bit, but will lay flat after it's dry). I like the ivory color of the paper, too (I am not really a fan of bright white paper).

The size is perfect for dropping in your pocket along with a small tin of watercolours and some travel brushes for some on the spot sketching, or you can add it easily to a small sketch bag. Sketching and painting small has taught me a lot about economy of composition and it gives a lot of control over the paint.

One thing I tried was toning the paper with Indian Red and wiping it down on several pages. After it was dry, I painted some scenes using some of JMW Turner's sketches and they came out really cool--it gives the work a very vintage look to tone the paper first.

Perfect Little Practice Book

October 1, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I'm in love with this little book already, its the perfect size for practice. And the paper is nice in that it doesn't bleed through to the other side, so I can paint back to back pages. The paper isn't fancy, but I enjoy it and it's easy to work with, with some textures. I'm looking forward to filling up the pages.

Good for Vest Pocket, Top Quality

September 20, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I use this for my watercolor pencil sketches. While I have not taken it outside with me yet, it is small enough to fit in the pockets of a photographer's vest that I wear while on our nearby walking trails. I have not tried painting on both sides of the pages, so can't say from my own experience whether that would work or not. I am a beginner at drawing and painting, and am loving the small size of this pocket album, as it is not intimidating. I can just sketch one thing at a time carefully with a number 2 pencil or an HB, then go over it with watercolor pencils--and then "paint" with water. I really like the good quality of this album. I think Moleskine is worth the money, and not just a vanity brand.

Perfect size for everyday, on the go sketching

October 5, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I purchased this notebook as a "warm-up" journal for a trip I'm taking in a month with the larger 5.5x8" journal. I actually think I prefer this smaller size for everyday use and urban sketching, or just doodling and illustration. It's small size fits in your back pocket (something I thought I'd never do but have done several times a week since I purchased it.) It's very inconspicuous for public sketching. I often just carry it with a fine pen for sketching and shoot a reference photo with my phone to finish the painting later. I use with the Koi 24 kit and water brushes. Pages dry fast and flatten nicely when you use the band. Word of warning-- Sharpie pens seep through the page and are visible on the other side. I mainly use Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens and those seem to be ok.

Meets the criteria for being extremely portable and of decent quality.

September 18, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Great little pocket sketchbook/watercolor book. Fits in my small purse with wallet, phone, a small travel tin of paints, a pen, and a waterbrush.

Nice sturdy paper. Absorbs color a bit faster than I like (not much chance for lifting color back off or scraping) but for quick urban sketches/watercolors it meets the criteria for being extremely portable and of decent quality.
Much better to have something available for spur of the moment pieces that is decent quality than to not have anything available because you can only use the highest quality paper.

I'll buy it again when this one is full.
