Last month I purchased this watercolor sketchbook. It is manufactured by a company in Germany called Hahnemuhle. It is my understanding that this paper is durable and tends not to buckle. In addition, I like the idea of being able to paint on the go.
This is my first painting using this paper. It may not be my finest painting but I found the experience intriguing.
Up to this point I have favored cold pressed paper which has a bit of a tooth to it's surface. I most likely will continue using cold pressed paper but the Hahnemuhle behaves from my experience, similar to a hot pressed paper. Hot pressed paper leaves watermarks where water sits on the surface when it dries. While painting, some of those marks left around the face I found quite lovely. In addition, this paper seemed to take multiple washes quite readily.
In conclusion, I have had a hard time finding quality watercolor books to paint in. Most of the ones available, when found, are way too small for my liking. Hopefully, this book will take me on a journey through experimentation and development over the next thirty pages.
