In the past I have written about using a test sheet to find out if your color mixing approximates what you intend on applying to your watercolor painting. Most of those comments referenced painting in the studio.
However, I use this mixed media book(4" x 6") when I am painting out in the field. This hardcover book, I find, handles watercolor quite well and is put out by the Bee Paper Company. The paper dries quickly which is a benefit when paining in plein air. The colors seem to remain fairly vibrant, too.
This book is great for testing out brushstrokes as well as painting small landscapes in a direct manner.
