I use these as travel journals. I carry one every time I take a trip. I write and do pencil and ink drawing on the sketch paper. I paint scenes from my trip with watercolor or do a ink and wash drawing. Make for great memories.

Great Art Journal Resource

Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Field Watercolor Sketch Book:

I use these sketchbooks for my art journaling. I can wash all the pages first, and then use ink and other media to complete the page. The pages are heavy enough to support all the things I want to do to them, and the limited number of pages means that the journal doesn't get over-sized in the process. I go through one every month or so. The smaller size fits in my purse and travels easily. The only thing close to this is a much smaller "visual journal"--more pages but less space.

A new use for this watercolor book!

Comments about Strathmore 400 Series Field Watercolor Sketch Book:

This watercolor journal has a distinct advantage with those interleaved sheets of drawing paper. Sure, it's great for field sketching with water mediums. But I'm purchasing it for something completely different - a pastel journal.

Soft pastels need a cover sheet to protect them from smudging. If I prime the sheets with Colourfix sanded pastel primer or Golden sanded primer, I can do watercolor underpaintings or choose my ground color. Then use soft pastels on site for plein air without worrying about how to store the finished paintings - the drawing paper sheets should protect them just fine. I'll be testing this out and write a second review after I've tried it, but this is on my list for that project.
