Description

The Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor Softcover Art Journal contains Strathmore's intermediate grade of watercolor paper, which is popular with watercolorists of all levels because of the fine and even washes that can be achieved.

Softcover Art Journals have a velvety softcover in rich dark brown, and feature durable Smyth-sewn binding, allowing pages to lay flatter.

  • Convenient size, very lightweight and smooth texture!
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
I'm in love of this sketchbook!), it's my first watercolor sketchbook that I have, because most of the time, I'm practicing on paper pads. And this sketchbook have 8"x 5.5" inch. And it's very versatile, good quality and good for travel or plain air paintings! 🥰 I recommend this!❤❤❤

  • Paper isn't scored for easy removal.
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
The cards dont separate like if they were scored. So you have to tear out the paper and it doesnt tear evenly. I dont need a "book" of my watercolor work.

  • Awesome watercolor book! (48 page one)
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
I got the water color one with 5x8 basically with the 48 pages. This is one of my favorite brands for paper anyway. But this is a great watercolor book. Pages are consistently good quality. I thought I’d hate the soft cover but actually the opposite. I love how I can fold it out of the way. But that’s a personal preference. High recommend especially if you aren’t trying to spend a bunch on your first one but still want good quality. I’m using mine with Winsor and newton cotman sketcher set and it’s been great. ... show more

  • The product is great.
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
The product is great. The paper is really thick, smooth on one side, textured on the other. Accepts the Japanese Gansai Tambi watercolour well. Also good with Prismacolor markers and colored pencils. The only downside is that the front cover of one of the journals I ordered were partially scratched. The cover is not that durable. It's okay. Maybe I need to but a hard cover next time. Still, for the price, good job Strathmore. ... show more

  • Great Watercolor Sketchbook!
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
This watercolor sketchbook is top notch for the price. It arrived with some subtle marring on the cover (see last photo) but it was not damaged nor was the paper affected, so I am not bothered by it. I tested my watercolor sets from a children’s neon set to my better quality Grumbacher tube colors to evaluate the paper - see first photo.Usability of both sides of each sheet will depend on the level of saturation on each side, as this paper will not take heavy amounts of water without buckling and seeping. The pages are not perforated, so if you plan on using this book for finished works, this probably isn’t the pad for you. The paper performs as expected. For a sketchbook to test layouts and color schemes, and do quick watercolor sketches, this is perfect. I will definitely order more of these Strathmore watercolor sketchbooks! ... show more

  • Great quality for the price!
Style: Soft Cover, Phase Out Size: 8x5.5 inch
I'm impressed. This sketchbook was suggested by a youtube illustrator I follow, so I decided to give it a shot. It absorbs the watercolor really well and doesn't cause it to pool up and create hard edges. The outside cover has a kind of rubbery finish that is great for repelling water and easy to celan. The inside papers are scored on the inside edge so that the book can sit open. My only problem (if you can call it that) is that there's no way to really remove the paper unless you use and xacto knife or something, but since I'm using it as a sketchbook, I'm fine with that. It's cold press btw, so there's a little bit of a tooth. Really great. ... show more
