SeawhiteA4 Landscape Hardback Watercolour Sketchbook 350 gsm

I love seawhite paper so love the product; but the sketchbook was wrapped in flimsy plastic, no outer packaging and because I wasn’t in at the time was left on my doorstop. Not ideal. Luckily I can still use it for what I need it for.

I like the paper quality - good enough for a layered watercolour.

Its realy expencive but the paper quality is so beautiful! If you use mini bulldog clips on the corners you can totally saturate the paper and it barely warps at all and its got a lovely medium texture. The pads heavy and I personaly wouldn't travel with it but it's deffinately sturdy enough to. Love it!

Some won't like this sketchbook as it's spiral bound.As always with Seawhite, the quality oozes from every aspect of it. Well designed and well made journal, beautiful surface, heavy weight 350gsm paper with a gorgeous texture and feel in just-off white... which, again, some won't like. Nice, rigid outer covers in a very attractive grey-blue linen effect.I have their A5 version of this and their 200gsm watercolour journals as well and would back their quality and value for money against anything else out there on the market... I'm a huge fan (does it show?).

I bought this after I learned that basically all watercolour paper is treated with gelatine.As former vegan and being vegetarian I don't want that, so I went on a loooong search until I found this.I tried many papers, also expensive ones. I was very disappointed in the behaviour of pretty much all of them, also that they are only available in 300gsm most of the time.The last I bought is Arches cold pressed, which develops a nasty smell when wet and buckles immediately (and I am not even using wet on wet)This paper is wonderfully thick, has whopping 350gsm, barely buckles, has a nice texture and no nasty smell to it.I am totally in love with this one, and don't even want to use any other paper anymore.

Not very often watercolour sketchbooks have good quality paper definitely not for this price.This paper 350gsm is incredibly good for layering, wet on wet and coloured pencils I'm using sometimes for finishing touches.Very good and I will buy again later.Very sturdy cover make it comfortable on plain air!Update: It's not great with masking tape and masking fluid. I tried many types of tapes but it's almost impossible remove the tape without any damage.This is something that to be consider but overall it's very good sketchbook.

Good price and good product. Paper is 100 cotton NOT. The paper buckles under few washes but nothing one cannot work on. The sketchbook is A4 size, spiral bound, hard back and well put together.

I've wanted to try this brand (Seawhites of Brighton) for some time, but hesitated as wasn't sure the quality would be there considering the price. I'm pleased to report that the paper holds up beautifully to both washes and more intricate watercolour. I love the size and landscape shape. An added bonus is the ring binder, that allows the pages to lay flat or be folded back to give a little more room to work.
