I am already a huge fan of Baohong watercolour paper, so was excited to see this new addition to the colllection. It’s great to have 300gsm paper in a sketchbook to take en plein air. Although I usually prefer rough paper, the medium still has a good texture for this type of situation. The book cover is a very soft faux leather fabric that has a sumptuous look and feel. The elastic closure works well. Great quality and value. Love it!
