Sketchpad for Watercolors Paper Art 'Kitty', 20 Sheets, A5
I got this sketchpad for my daughter, who's just starting to get into watercolor painting. What I like is that it comes with 20 good-quality sheets of paper that work well with either acrylic or water-soluble paints.
The A5 size is nice and compact, so it fits easily in her art bag or backpack. Each sheet is 148 x 210 mm - big enough to get creative with, but not so big that it's a hassle to carry around.
What really caught my attention is the paper quality. It's not too soft that it smudges, and it handles even the most intense pencil marks really well. Plus, it doesn't buckle under pressure, so she can really go to town without worrying about it warping.
As a bonus, there are a few extra sheets of paper with different textures and sizes thrown in. This is a great feature for beginners who want to experiment with different techniques and styles.
I'm super happy with this sketchpad. The paper quality, size, and included extras make it a great choice for anyone just starting out with watercolors - or for anyone who wants to give it a try without breaking the bank.
One thing I appreciate is that the sheets are easy to handle and won't cause any mess. My daughter can just grab a sheet, start painting, and clean up when she's done. It's really made her art sessions a lot more enjoyable.
