Really love this for quick sketches with water soluble graphite (Derwent) and then add color with Koi watercolor set. Keep in my backpack at all times when I feel inspired or have brief periods of time to work on my fledging skills. Makes it easy to do a bit of art on a regular basis in unexpected places (at desk on lunch break, train, waiting for an appointment. It's really the perfect size for me and the paper is lovely, takes water well and did I mention the convenience!?
