It's 300gsm, cold pressed, with a fine tooth that holds pigment well and takes repeated washes without buckling or pilling. This is proper artist-grade paper, not a notebook with \"watercolour\" on the label and standard stock inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book opens in A5 landscape format (21 x 14.8 cm), which gives you a wide, horizontal working surface that suits landscapes, panoramic studies and plein air sketching far better than a portrait page ever could. Wire binding means the book lies genuinely flat when open, right across both pages, so you're not fighting the spine or working around a gutter while you paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, you'll find 20 sheets of non-microperforated paper, acid-free and pH neutral, so your work will hold its colour and condition over time rather than yellowing or degrading. The cover is a black printed fabric hard-cover, sturdy enough to protect the pages inside whether it's tucked into a bag for a day out sketching or sitting on a studio shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits watercolourists at any stage, from someone building confidence with their first washes through to practised painters who want a dependable travel book. The format also works well for mixed media that leans wet, given the weight and absorbency of the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 sheets of 300gsm Fontaine cotton watercolour paper, cold pressed (NOT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 landscape format, 21 x 14.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire-bound, opens flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack printed fabric hard-cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcid-free and pH neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the Netherlands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it's worth having:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGood watercolour paper changes how your washes behave. It lifts colour evenly, dries without warping and lets you layer without the surface breaking down. Pair that with a landscape format that opens flat, and you've got a sketchbook that's genuinely built for the way watercolourists actually work, rather than one that's been adapted from a general notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhodia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46088335458439,"sku":"116145C","price":46.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/watercolor-book-cold-pressed-watercolor-paper-140-lb_f87ad331-ec19-4a31-a8e9-4db675b0282f.jpg?v=1791519930","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/rhodia-touch-wirebound-watercolour-book-cold-pressed-paper-a5-landscape","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
