Holbein puts out this multi-drawing book which I have fully embraced as a sort of watercolor sketchbook. It has very white, yet thin pages. However, it is lovely to paint on. They come in all different sizes. I don't believe they are intended for building up layers of washes, as such they are great for being on the go.
Along the journey of using these books I have appreciated the value in leaving the white of the paper unpainted where possible. It makes for very vibrant wet on dry watercolor painting. The edges you get can be very lively and expressive.
It can be useful for figure studies and experimenting with different pigment combinations.
