Arches Watercolor Book

(C) 2019 Dale DiMauro

Recently, I acquired this bound watercolor book consisting of Arches watercolor paper on the internet. I have learned it is difficult to find a sketchbook with high quality watercolor paper. So I am giving this a try.

I must say this is a well crafted book with a quality binding. Most of the pages consist of the cold press variety which has some tooth to the page. However, the end pages consist of the smoother hot press.

When time is limited such as in the Summer it is important to be able to paint on the go. Even though it is the same paper as found in the popular block form I find it will take some adjusting to this different format. This is the first painting I started in this book, so we'll see.
