Review: Great, but elastic broke as soon as I touched it - The paper seems great so far, besides the pages that have creasing and damage on them. I love the compact size and hard cover. I can't say I'm not incredibly bummed about the elastic breaking the first time I went to undo it. I wasn't even rough AT ALL, new sketchbooks are precious to me. The elastic was one thing I was very excited to have, as I want everything inside to stay together and compact, unlike my previous sketchbook which always had loose sheets falling out. Oh well, hopefully I can fix it, and still use the dented pages. Update: Despite some damage from shipping, this sketchbook is amazing! Because the paper is cotton, it can handle a beating from scrubbing, layering, etc. I was able to glue the elastic back into its original place, and it looks fine, although I have to be extra careful when using it. The dents in the paper were only an issue on the first couple of pages, and even then not much (after all it's a sketchbook not a piece I'm going to try to sell). I love the size of this journals pages, and if I so choose, I could do a panoramic landscape across a spread. The pages are perforated in case you did want to remove a piece, however I have not yet tried to remove anything. Anyway, I highly recommend this sketchbook to anyone looking for a great watercolor journal, as the paper is cotton, and it is wonderful to use. This is hot pressed paper, and so far I have not seen an option for cold pressed, but I certainly hope they make that an option as well.
Review: Nice hot pressed journal - This is my first experience with hot pressed paper so I wasn't sure what to expect. I normally paint on 100% cotton cold pressed paper and do mostly wet on wet technique. But I've been noodling around with ink and wash so I needed a smoother paper. I've done several paintings in the sketchbook, ink and wash and just watercolor. It handles washes without buckling but if you are used to cold pressed paper you need to use significantly less water. Paint will move if you do wet on wet and it will granulate but not as much as on more textured paper. It handles tape well and I erased initial sketches with no issues at all. Color looks nice and vibrant. You can lift paint well. Wet on dry works very well on this paper For anyone reading reviews of this journal to help make your decision, remember first and foremost, this is hot pressed paper, so it will not behave like cold pressed paper if that is what you are used to. Very smooth gradients might be difficult unless you are experienced. But that said I am enjoying it and if you are looking for an urban sketchbook or wanting to try a smoother texture it's a great book for the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Let me try that again ,sorry was reading ... Does anyone know  if the pages are 100% cotton and if tgey surely wont leak though to the next page ?**
A: Yes. It is 100% cotton. Printed right on cover. It is heavyweight paper in a block so paint won't bleed through to next page. A block is the stack of paper sealed all the way around except a small section where you slip in a dull edge painting knife or equivalent and slide around to remove page. 

I REALLY like this. I would've bought the black one but the pink is a lot cheaper and I wasn't sure I'd like it. But I do and sooner or later I know it's going to be rainbow colored anyway... 😜 Hope this helps!

**Q: For the pink 7.6x5.3, the title says it's a watercolor block. The item description and image say it's a watercolor journal. Which is correct?**
A: When you click on the variety of choices ( pink blue etc and sizes, you scroll choices from left to right it’s the smallest, and the foldout journal, to the right it says block next to the color. Above it is your size of pads choice. Anything that is Normal text color is available. 

If it’s ghosty looking, it’s not for you. Ie you want the black block but you like the size of what only comes in a pink foldable. And you don’t pay attention. Order. Then you’re sad. 

Hope that helps.  :)

**Q: Is the cover removable? Once you use the paper included, can you put it on another block?**
A: No not really....if you are bound and determined to I suppose you could glue another block down when finished with the one that's there.

**Q: Does anyone else have an issue of the glue melting when it gets wet? It makes a horrible mess :(**
A: I haven’t had this be an issue so far, and I tend to use a lot of wet-on-wet techniques. I don’t use warm water either so maybe that’s why the glue on mine doesn’t melt. hope this helps :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Purposely taped on all four sides with an unglued slit and ready to paint on!! No tape needed!
*by A***K on December 19, 2023*

BE AWARE that these pads come pre glued on all sides with a small unglued spot to separate pages after painting!! It’s like being PRE TAPED. GENIUS!! When I first opened the pad I was disappointed and couldn’t figure out why all four sides were glued together. I even went back to look at reviews that showed issues with the same thing. Thinking it was defective, I started to submit a return. The company must have this issue regularly as they have a note that says something like, “before returning see this link”. In the link it explains that the pad is purposefully glued on four sides with an opening to slip a credit card like item in between pages when ready to remove your finished painting. NOTE TO COMPANY - please attach a note with each pad explaining this so customers don’t think their pad is defective! The paper is nice and thick and the pre glued pages make it PERFECT for painting anywhere, especially traveling! I took mine on a cruise and enjoyed painting out on my balcony with no buckling issues or blowing paper!! After I finished a painting I removed the page with a credit card easy the page free and then began with a fresh new page!!
