## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great price for a watercolor art book.
*by J***S on August 29, 2019*

great price on this portable watercolor art book. Fits perfectly in my small art backpack along with my other art supplies. The paper can handle a few layers before it begins to shred. Any lifting of color needs to be done before the paint dries completely and you can paint on both sides of the pages. I have purchased this art book many times and will continue to do so. Great job Stillman & Birn. 👍

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this sketchbook journal
*by M***A on August 17, 2020*

I love this journal. I have been wanting to get into the habit of using a sketbook journal for abstract art and doodle. I have been able to use mix media and not damage the paper. Heavy body. Great size. Amazing inspiration with this size sketchbook.
