So I've been testing out lots of cotton rag paper for this watercolour sketchbook and looked at a variety of different weights but have settled on using a beautiful 320gsm paper from Khadi papers that is weighty and so so lovely to paint on.
It's a substantial weight so very beautiful to use and features deckled edges for a rustic look. It has an edge to edge cover so no fiddley strap even though I do love the whole ritual of unravelling a tie strap on a handbound book.
It's listed in 2 sizes currently, A6 and A5 but I am always open to custom requests if you wanted something a little larger than A5 or even smaller or indeed if you wanted a completely different paper altogether.
