Well made sketchbook!

The sketchbook is very well made, durable cover, love that the band is separable from the book (and matching cover material is a nice touch).

It's hard to find good hot pressed paper in sketchbooks for when I feel like having a lot of detail while still being able to put a few layers of watercolor.

Can't wait to try a cold pressed one next time :)

Nothing short of amazing

I am officially addicted. I just wanted to try a decent watercolor paper sketchbook for once. Watercolor paper is what I do all my art on I like watercolor painting charcoal (Nitram) and oil painting over gesso. Handmade ones on Etsy ehh okay I guess could be better. Really expensive (double the price of Koval) Mid quality usually do not lay flat even if they say they do. Low quality covers and binding. Stilman and Bern okay pretty decent paper rolls with anything other than slightly diluted paint. Moleskin watercolor other than being cheap and big freaking terrible. Really terrible basically useless for me. Charcoal works unless you erase more than once. Any wet media the paper rolls like a cigar so it’s decent large graphite paper which not a big fan of shiny graphite. Koval I have yet to find a flaw super high quality covers and binding obviously whatever paper you are in the mood for. Perfect sizes for me this most recent b5 fabriano one I have carried everyday for a couple months and as you can see from photo is still in perfect condition. I am hard on and abuse my art supplies because I burn thru them really fast being a professional artist.

Its very well made

This is I think the highest quality watercolor sketchbook I've seen . There's been several I've bought before this, but this is on a whole other level. Specifically due to the paper that is being used and even the binding and cover. It's very professional and made for the artist professional.
