The smooth-toothed cardstock is perfect for all types of mediums: pencil, ink, watercolor. The overall size is great — easy to pack-n-go, easy to hold onto. The open-flat design is awesome. The cover is rugged. I, too, am blowing through them because the size and scope has so inspired me, instead of being intimidated by bigger blank pages to fill or a thick cumbersome book. Ready to order more because now I find myself dedicating a journal each to my yard garden, a vacation, a species-dedicated field notebook, everyday adventures … oh my!

Love this journal. The paper is great for fountain pen, Micron pens, watercolors, and colored pencil. The reference pages in the back are handy as reminders and quick reviews too! Sturdy cover, great size, and the pages lay flat for full spreads. Highly recommend!

Great journal. It took me a couple days to get used to this one, but really liked the size and how the pages open flat. Paper is smoother surface that I normally use, but I’m getting used to it. I use fountain pen and watercolor and it works great. It only took me 3 weeks to blast through one journal because it has fewer pages than my 120page (60sheet) sketchbook. I highly recommend it!
