Great for sketching in watercolor/mixed media
For the price and for being cellulose based paper, this is nice! It is great for plein air sketching or any general watercolor sketching. Also works amazingly with gouache. Takes fountain, gel, and other pens nicely and has an agreeable tooth for pencil. See my example pages. I like it better than either Moleskine or Stillman & Bern watercolor books, which I have used extensively. It doesn't behave like 100% cotton paper but expecting it to do so is unrealistic. I use binder clips on the short side to keep pages from moving around or curling; works great.
