ERROR:#N/A

The Moleskin is so well designed that it is the perfect book to use for sketching in pen, pencil or painting watercolours. I am now on my fifth and can highly recommend to anyone from beginner through to professional who wants to have a pocket size book with such a durable cover, and good quality paper which lends itself to many mediums. I particularly love the durable elastic band that keeps the book closed and safe and find it very handy that I can slip a pen and pencil under the band if I am trying to be minimal. The Moleskin cover is waterproof and the size ideal for rucksacks, handbag or even a large pocket and whenever I have travelled abroad, always rely on it for durability and on our return can use my sketches to work up larger paintings. It always receives admiration for its quality and size and I use the storage flap on the inside of the back cover to store items on my travels.

Wow. What great paper. I am using this book for day to day sketchbooking. I love the Coptic style binding, which allows me to lay the book out flat and get a full landscape across two pages. I have used pencils, watercolour and ink pens successfully on this (although I haven't yet tried a heavy wash). The paper is a lovely, slightly off white colour, traditional to moleskin books and it feels buttery smooth. In terms of absorbency the paper isn't the most absorbent watercolour paper I have ever used, but I guess that's the compromise in order for you to get the smoothness of the paper. It does the job I want it to do as a watercolour paper that works with other mixed media.

Lovely thick paper. Has a medium texture, not too rough or too smooth, so it's good for a variety of media. Paper does warp slightly with watercolours, but that's to be expected. Journals lie flat throughout the book, great for ease of use. Have used "scotch magic tape" on paintings - and left the tape on for weeks - and peeled it off with no rips at all (magic tape sometimes rips the surface on more budget watercolour papers). Great journals for taking out and about! Moleskins are a bit expensive, but personally I think they're worth every penny.

I read reviews before buying, where a few people said that the paper was better suited to pen rather than pencil. I've used pencil and applied a watercolour wash, quite wet too and am pleased to say that the paper handles it very well, better than | would have thought. The book is well made and of good quality. Being black and of the size it is,(14x9cm and 2cm thick) it looks like a conventional policemans notebook. The colour and appearance doesn't bother me but I will not be buying one for my niece because of this. As regards the size, it's a bit "fat" but on the plus side it's very solid and theres lots of good quality sheets. I have been used to a typical W&N A6 size ( 10.5 x 14cm)black sketch book which is that bit bigger and also slimmer but I haven't used the Moleskine long enough yet to see if I will get used to it's size, although it's excellent to spread a panoramic landscape across 2 pages. I mentioned the black W&N sketchbooks but in my opinion the quality of the paper has changed since they stopped manufacturing them in blue where the paper took a wash very favourably. I will be buying Moleskine again but maybe just in a larger size.

Believe the hype, this is such a perfect notebook! The paper takes a variety of media including watercolours, ink, collages, acrylic, and pencils exceptionally well. The paper is textured (therefore not really suitable for lots of writing) but quite thick which is excellent for water based media and pens. Plus, I have only found that it buckles if the paper is saturated with lots of water, but this is the same for most watercolour notebooks anyway! I personally love the fact it's landscape (you can always turn it portrait if your drawings require)! Love the pocket in the back which is useful for photos you might be working from or scraps. Basically, it is a great all-round notebook. I'm considering this in the pocket size too!

I bought this sketchbook for travelling but find myself constantly sketching and painting in it due to its amazing paper quality. A must have sketchbook. Yes, it is kind of expensive for a sketchbook but I assure you it's worth every penny. I looked through the comments and some people say not to paint on both sides. I didn't have a problem with doing this. The paper held the paint extremely well on both sides. I will definitely be buying this again! Any artist will love this book. I haven't looked back at my old cheap sketchbooks. This is the way forward! Came here fairly quickly and wrapped really well. Please know that this book is indeed A5. Partnered with the A4 Moleskin sketchbook you have all the ingredients for an amazing sketching/painting experience. Hope I was of some help! I have already recommended them to every artist I know.

Great watercolour sketchbook that has lovely paper. The size means that it's easy to carry about. I'm quite happy with it.

I was told it would arrive between the 8th and 12th of April (I ordered on the 6th) and I was THRILLED when it came to my door this morning on the 7th! Packaged very smartly with a printed label and in perfect condition. No complaints at all :-D I bought the A4 version of this for a school art trip and whilst it was a pleasure to work with, trying to do something portrait was so annoying. This is a much friendlier size (although I have to now downsize my massive sketches haha) The paper is not as high as I would like (for me 300gsm is where I find I can really layer watercolour without wrinkling or seeing colour through the other side. I tried my first promarker sketch on this paper too but it bled through the page so beware here. Would also prefer an even smoother cold press. Overall looking forward to using it!

Great texture and quality of the papers of this book make it really good for an artist doing watercolours. I love the overall look of the book, and easy for me to carry with me on my travels and paint. Paper does not bleed at all and absorbs well and works very well for wet on wet techniques.

Love the binding and cover. Very pretty and sturdy. However, be aware that it is 200gsm only and warps under watercolor application. If you paint on both sides of the paper and use the rubber band to bind the book close when you are not using the book, then the warping isn't too obvious. Otherwise, feels great when using it! My colors come out so pretty on it.

The paper texture is good but the size is larger than I thought for me (I wanted to buy it so I can bring it everywhere) 🙂

娘が産まれたのをきっかけに半年ごと手形と足形をとる為に購入しました。水彩用のノートなのでインクで歪む事なく押せました。

Cuaderno tamaño A5 en el tamaño más grande. Hace bien su función como un cuaderno de bocetos de acuarela, y aunque se doble al pasarse con el aguado con la presión que hace la goma que lleva, al cerrarlo se aplana. Buena calidad de las hojas, buena presentación y buen diseño. A parte, viene con un compás, regla y medidor de ángulos todo esto de papel que para bocetos fuera de casa viene perfecto.
