Watercolor Book

After two days of traveling I came home to this watercolor book by elsewaresupply.com with eager anticipation. Most watercolor paper buckles but this paper is simply different. It may depend, in part, on how wet you paint.

First, I bought it locally at the Brattleboro Food Coop in town. It is marketed as 300 lb paper. I don't know if it is or not, however it has a wonderful texture. Also, when the paper is wet the pigment seems rich and vivid unlike any other paper I have used.

I have only found it in these smaller sizes: 4.25" x 5.75" and 7" x 10 1/8". Regardless, it is a great portable paper for plein air or direct painting. 

I keep adding little landscapes to this watercolor book. I truly am impressed with the results.
