Questions & Answers

When using sakura pigma micron pens, will the paper bleed? Please accept my gratitude. ?

With pigma micron pens, platinum carbon fountain pens, and watercolor paints, there is no bleed. On one side, the paper is slightly rougher, while on the other, it is smoother. Only when you do a two-step is it really noticeable. spread across two pages The rounded corners, ribbon marker, elastic closure, and extra four-page foldout at the back are all features I appreciate in a small journal.

What exactly is the composition of the paper? Is there any acid in the paper? free?

Yes, Ketzela, this paper is acid-free. Although it is free, it is not archival or museum certified. The journal is printed on "Image" paper from China. " UniverseArt, Mark

Is it possible to use a "double" page for one sketch in this book because it folds open flat?

Yes, this book can be opened flat to make use of a double-sided printing method. spread out over two pages Unless you open the spread to the "center seam" (you'll see the thread) of a signature, the texture of the pages may vary slightly from one page to the next. Most people don't care about this in a sketchbook-- However, if you were to cut out and frame the double-sided print, the result would be quite different. Use one of the center seam spreads for a multi-paged spread.

Are these cruelty-free or vegan? Is the binding and/or sizing done without using animal products?

Animal by-products are never used in UniverseArt. Field Artist journal products are made with these materials.

A fantastic little sketchbook for practice
5/5

This sketchbook was purchased to help me improve my brush pen skills. I wanted something small so that learning to use a new tool wouldn't overwhelm me - The Pentel brush pen is a type of pen that comes in a variety of colors This little gem is exactly what you've been looking for. One side of the page is smooth, while the other has more texture, as others have pointed out. That doesn't bother me because I'm inking right now, but since this is watercolor paper, I can add watercolor later. The cover is soft and comfortable to hold, the binding is sturdy, and I love the panoramic panel for my practice pages. br>br>About page separation and binding: When the sketchbook's binding is not properly broken in, this can happen. I'm not sure why sellers don't include this information in the description or in the packaging when they ship it, but it WILL come apart if you just splay it open without properly preparing it. As a voracious reader and writer, I'm always looking for new ways to express myself. I'll give some instructions here to hopefully help others in the future. br>br>Place the book on a table with the spine down. CAREFULLY press the front cover against the back of the book. DON'T try to force anything; It loosens and separates as a result of this. The back cover should be treated the same way. Again, don't squish it; instead, apply light pressure. Gently press down a few pages from the back, then the front, with your pen. Continue in this manner until you reach the center. It's possible that you'll have to repeat the process. Taking a few minutes to gently break in your binding will ensure that your book, the priceless container for your thoughts and creativity, will last; I have never had a book of any kind separate since I started doing this. br>br>For visual learners, I've attached a photo of how to do this process.

FABULOUS! I was trying to downsize and declutter my travel supplies, so I went on the hunt for a good compact watercolor journal, and I found it! LOL
5/5

This is the ideal size for me to throw in any bag or purse, along with my travel palette, and sketch and paint whenever and wherever I want! In addition, the paper is of excellent quality. I have yet to be disappointed! It's hard to beat the price, and you won't have to worry about wasting money on inferior products.

Review has been updated: I'm updating my review because they then sent me a new book, which was put together perfectly, and I'm updating my review because they then sent me a new book, which was sent to me overnight
4/5

)br>br>I was delighted to come across this adorable little book, which was ideal for my requirements. The back cover, however, was separated from the pages and glued on at an oblique angle when it arrived. I'm not going to bother returning it, so I'm going to glue it in place myself. However, based on the reviews, the quality appears to be variable.

The spine and cover have been separated
3/5

I was ecstatic to receive a small watercolor book in the mail. I opened it up today after receiving it. Imagine my surprise when the front cover and spine separated from the rest of the book right away. The pages and back cover were in good condition, but I never got to use it.

This is a fantastic little book
5/5

I like the size; hopefully, I'll be able to draw it. This is a small painting, LOL. I keep it in a small clear cosmetic case (7-inch by 7-inch by 7-inch by 7-inch by 7-inch by 7 I used a pen, pencil, two waterbrushes, paper towel, test paper, ruler, clip, and a tiny primary watercolor box that I made. Everything is tucked away in my purse, waiting for the right time (which has yet to arrive). What I like about it is that, despite its small size, it is ideal for watercolors and opens flat to a generous 8"; All I have to do now is get used to working in a smaller space.

This is a fantastic little journal
5/5

This miniature watercolor journal is incredible! It rivals, if not outperforms, a moleskin journal of a similar design. Because the pages are thick, I am able to paint on BOTH sides of each one. For me, that's a major plus. It does a fantastic job of holding the paint. I also use a lot of layers of paint. br>br>Warping isn't a problem. It will, to some extent. It does, however, have a handy elastic to keep the book closed, and once dry, all of the pages flatten out quickly. br>br>You do not need to travel to benefit from this little gem. I use it to jot down quick ideas in watercolor so that I can later turn them into large oil paintings. Of course, I also use it for a variety of other small tasks. Look at the image below.

Wonderful watercolor travel journal in a small size
5/5

This tiny little travel watercolor book is one of my favorites. It's a nice, thick paper that fits nicely in my bag. It comes with a long panoramic page, a ribbon page marker, and an elastic band to keep it closed in my bag. br>br>However, I bought it because of the size and weight of the paper.

Aqua Sketch in a Pocket His watercolor book is very portable due to its convenience
3/5

The watercolor paper does not buckle when you use it. The pages are flat when you open them. The paper works well with fountain pen ink, graphite (with a fixative), colored pencil, and watercolor, but there are two textures to choose from if you want to paint in the 4 x 8 format.
