Khadi Paper Hardback Sketch Book HB5W Smooth 5" x 6.5" 210 gsm

I'd never used a Khadi papers book prior to this, but I'm now a believer. I do have quite a bit of experience with 100 percent cotton paper and I've used most of the current popular brands, including some that are as heavy as 300 gsm.This paper is different. It's thinner (I think only 190 to 210 gsm) but wow, you can really soak this paper in wash after wash and it doesn't buckle! It has a great off-white color that reproduces colors brilliantly and the deckled edges are really cool. The paper has some inconsistencies, but nothing that hinders the drawing and painting process.It handles pen and ink just fine and there is very little feathering and the lines remain pretty clean and tight. The paper handles watercolor beautifully and if you're a fan of granulating paints, the paper produces extraordinarily beautiful granulation patterns.I know these books are expensive, but treat yourself once in a while. These books are worth using particularly for watercolor artists looking for a terrific painting experience.

Love Khadi paper, would like to get some bigger sheets.Shipping is a major problem

Beautiful hand-made paper that takes watercolor well.
