Moleskine Art Plus Watercolor Album, Pocket, Black, Hard Cover (3.5 x 5.5)

Been using these books for over 8 years now. Excellent quality, and can take a beating. Perfect for ink sketching, and light water color work. The paper is of good quality, and you can always find different grit/tooth for texture. The size is perfect for most back pockets. Highly recommended

This is my go to sketchbook. Check out art i made on this sketchbook on social fernandotheartist. Sturdy hard cover, fits in a regular size pocket so you can take it anywhere. Its about the size of a cell phone. The watercolor pages are thick with nice good texture. If you are drawing with markers or painting on it so the artwork doesn't bleed through.

Obviously, moleskine is a long time art holy grail. For as long as I’ve been watercolor painting (nearly a decade) I’ve never actually tried their watercolor journals. I guess I’ve been afraid to “mess them up” or what have you. Ive always been a big fan of fancy watercolor paper- but I was scared to mess up a page in a nice bound book. I’ve finally gotten to a skill and confidence level that hey, screw it, why not. I’ve been using this as a reference book for myself in my travels of various botanical life and the paper is perfect! I like a bit of texture on my watercolor papers and this has just enough tooth to really get the colors to do interesting things. I ordered two different very small sizes and I love their portability, the elastic band to keep it closed and the additional folder pocket in the back. Classic moleskine functionality with beautiful watercolor paper. Not that expensive either, all things considered. As a watercolor paper snob, I highly recommend!

A very handy tiny little book easy to carry for anytime sketch. paper is thick enough for watercolour wet to wet. Love it and will buy again.

Moleskin is a good brand and they make great watercolor sketchbooks I use this for small watercolor studies and shooting the breeze on my lunch break. Holds up really well

Excellent

I actually bought this, thinking it was bigger. I looked back at my order and realized it was clearly stated in the description. Either way, I am in love with this watercolor journal. It fits perfectly in my purse. I actually took one of my old makeup bags and added a collapsible cup, this journal and a travel paint brush and pencil and eraser. All I need to paint anywhere if I'm stuck in traffic (my husband driving), waiting for someone or something and I find something interesting, or I come across something that is absolutely beautiful and cannot leave without painting it. I am in this situation a lot. I will say to myself, a camera cannot capture the beauty of this, I so wish I brought something I can paint with so I'll take a picture but it's not the same. Other artists could relate. So this journal was so much better than what I thought I was getting!! Shipping was super fast, I was so surprised to find it in my mailbox, because it was so much earlier than the estimated date. All in all, great purchase, great product and a great seller. Thanks so much for such an transaction!!

I'm trying to teach myself to use watercolours and this little book is perfect for practicing techniques and strokes without wasting full-size sheets of watercolour paper or cutting them into trial size bits. The pages are thick enough to take lots of water and even though they'll curl a bit, when closed the elastic keeps everything nice and flat so using the other side of the page later is never a problem. Also, the binding is excellent - if paint reaches the inner edge, it doesn't seep onto other pages... however I try not to be over-zealous with the paint toward the outer edges. I also make notes on each page so I'll know what I was trying to achieve, what colours I used and what steps I took. It's cute, it's sleek and I love it! I'll definitely buy these again!

I purchased this to do some Urban sketching using watercolour pencils. I've created some simple swatches on the first pages and the qualyof paper looks perfect for watercolour. No bleeding through into the next page. Small and portable enough for on the go sketching and a quality finish.

Ich habe mir dieses Aquarellbuch bestellt, da ich gerne skizziere und meine Skizzen mit Aquarellfarben coloriere. Klein und handlich sollte es sein, damit ich es überall hin mitnehmen kann. Entgegen der anderen teilweise negativen Bewertungen habe ich mir gedacht, ich probiere es trotzdem mal aus und war positiv überrascht. Das Büchlein hat einen festen Einband und wirkt robust. In der hinteren Buchklappe befindet sich eine kleine 'Tasche', in der man Zettel aufbewahren kann. Ein Gummizug hält das Büchlein zu. Ich male schon seit einigen Jahren bevorzugt mit Aquarellfarben und habe schon einige Aquarellpapiere ausprobiert. Natur der Sache ist natürlich, dass die Seiten - wie es eben in einem Buch so ist - nur an einer Seite befestigt sind und sich somit natürlich leichter wellen. Wer sonst mit sehr viel Wasser auf Blöcken malt, muss sich mit einem Aquarellbuch wohl etwas umstellen. Es ist nicht zu empfehlen, die Seite SEHR zu durchnässen, weder vor dem Auftragen der Farbe noch während dessen. Ich würde sagen, dass ich mit "normal" viel Wasser male und bei mir wellen sich die Seiten nicht! Das kommt wohl ganz auf den Malstil an. Für meine Zwecke absolut ausreichend, gute Qualität, kein Wellen der Seiten und sehr handlich. Von mir eine Kaufempfehlung :-)

This is a great little water coloring book to have with you when you are out and about for some quick and easy watercolor. 👍

I should have checked the measurement on an actual ruler before ordering this, but now that I'm used to the small size (I thought it would be almost twice the size! silly me), I love it! Very portable size and wonderful paper quality and binding.

Ho comprato sia la versione 14x9cm che quella 21x13cm, la piccola (14x9) è comodissima entra anche in tasca, è poco più grande della mia confezione di acquerelli da viaggio, inoltre il formato perché permette semplicemente di tenerla in una mano e disegnare con l'altra senza poggiarla, ovviamente quando si passa a dipingere la storia cambia e mi trovo meglio con la versione grande (21x13), questa entra comodamente in qualsiasi borsello, ha un formato che reputo più comodo per disegnare inoltre usata disegnando su 2 pagine attigue permette di fare dei panorami, se dovessi scegliere una delle 2 acquisterei questo formato. La carta in entrambi i formati è perfetta per l'uso ad acquerello, paragonabile a altre ben più costose: se usata senza "allagarla" regge davvero bene, nel mio caso non s'è mai imbarcata o flessa in alcun modo, anche se 200g sembrano pochi, è ben rilegata, e per questo regge. Decisamente un buon prodotto.
