BulletPoint3 : Large 8x12” Watercolor & Mixed Media Sketchbook: Allows pages to open fully and painting on both pages (12x16") which gives you very nice (3:4) aspect ratio for any type of art: Landscape, portrait / group of figures, still life etc. It is perfect for plein air painting also, it allows you to paint both sky and ground in its full glory. BulletPoint4 : Thick 100% Cotton 140 LB watercolor paper is absorbent and if you put lots of water on it before painting it will take long to me to dry so it is perfect for Alla prima technique and plein air painting and will give nice results for any expressive wet on wet or dry on wet studio painting techniques BulletPoint5 : Hot Pressed Paper surface has a subtle and organic texture, it is not completely smooth. When you use lots of water with granulating pigments, it will give you very delicate and organic / abstract type of textures. You can also achieve delicate drybrush marks with it. BulletPoint6 : Hot pressed texture can be used also with other type mixed media like watercolor pencils, gouache, pen, pencil or ink painting. Subtle texture will not overpower your work and gives you the ability to make variety of artistic works and effects. BulletPoint7 : Thick 140 LB / 300 GSM 100% cotton paper is ideal for wet on wet technique. Paper will remain flat and will not warp even when you apply lots of water on it. When fully wet it takes pleasingly long time to dry so you have lots of time to finish your painting before it dries. BulletPoint8 : It is suggested that you tape the edges with tape so that the water will not pass to other pages and ruin earlier paintings. You can take the extra tackiness off from the tape by first putting it against some fabric (trousers or other cloth) few times so it will not stick too hard on the paper which could tear off the paper. Also remove the tape carefully so that the direction is outward from the paper center. Do not press the tape too hard, it is delicate paper, but with practice you can use tape. See also demo video! BulletPoint9 : With this big size sketchbook you can practice painting comfortable in bigger size and use loose brushwork and wet on wet techniques.
