Suti Watercolor Sketchbooks, 100% cotton hardbound sketchbook for painting

My package arrived quickly and it was a sheer delight to open. From the special wrapping paper to all the extra care put into packaging and product, I am beyond happy with my precious paint set and sketchbook. I did some color swatches in my new notebook and love the colors and textures. The paper is very heavy and thick. . The gold is very light, so it seems to take more water to use, unless you use it as a glaze or wash. So beautiful overall! ❤️

Love the cover construction and color choices. The 100% cotton paper is nice and heavy, and took heavy washes and layers—front and back—quite well. (Some puffing up while painting, but dried pretty flat.) The stitching allows the book to lay flat when opened. I did notice some spots where the paint didn’t take as well to the paper, but they were small. And it’s a sketchbook, not a museum piece. I’m guessing it has something to do with the recycled cotton used in the paper. Which is actually a cool feature in my opinion. Overall, a good value and joy to use.

The paper in these sketchbooks is lovely for watercolor. It is thick and you can paint on both sides without bleedthrough or warping. I may have to buy another.
