Hahnemuehle Watercolour book 200g/m², watercolor notebook, A4, landscape, 30 fls

Great paper, I have used many of the smaller pads like this. I am very happy with this larger one, but, the paper seems to be slightly less sturdy than the earlier pads that I have bought. But, it is still a good choice. I like the paper very much and this larger pad is really nice.

No complaints here--never had 95 lb paper behave so well! it is the perfect size and barely puckers, and is great for traveling. highly recommend.

Good quality paper yet very light in weight.

Wonderful, perfect

This a large watercolor book. From page 1, you may paint. The paper has the same consistency across the middle of the book. So if you want to paint on 2 pages for one scene you may.

I was excited to get this sketchbook because I heard good things. Not good for watercolor as the paper will not take much water without warping.Might be better for other mediums.

I had to order this from the UK to be able to try it out... getting Hahnemuhle paper and books isn't easy over here in the USA still. I had tried one of their regular papers, it was a sample pack from DaVinci paints. I liked it. I had heard so much overwhelming awesomeness about them and this book.... it just didn't pan out for me. I wanted to love it. I definitely LOVE this size, but I didn't like the paper. I primarily use fountain pen and watercolors and the paper was just too thin and buckled too much... and that wasn't even using too much water - I wasn't doing any crazy wet-on-wet stuff, just on-location urban sketching with pen and watercolor... If you are just going to do light pen & pencil work, you will probably be fine. I think I'll have to stick to Pentel and keep hoping this size will become a thing, it's not as easily portable of a size, but it is heavenly to work at - especially for being out and doing urban-sketching and plein-air journaling.

The fabric cover is nice, and that's about all I can say for it. For all the fuss about Hahnemuhle products I've seen online, this paper wasn't what I hoped. My watercolors come out looking "mushy" somehow, no matter how hard I try to lay down clean sections of paint. The paper won't allow smooth washes, and it also doesn't like scrubbing at *all* so be careful if that's a favored technique of yours. It's a workable book for sit-down watercolor sketching at home (and forget fully-rendered, finished pieces), but that isn't what I wanted it for. I was hoping to do some outdoor sketching, but this book is too big and it doesn't fold under itself, so juggling both it and a pocket watercolor paint box, let alone a brush, is impossible. There are better watercolor sketchbooks out there for less than what I paid here; I'd give this one a pass unless you just love the aesthetic of this particular book.
