They're all good for something...but if you want to keep a consecutive record of your work (and I do - because I'm still learning and it's really motivating to see how far I've come) you must commit. My current fave is the spiral bound Strathmore Sketchbook - it has alternating pages of 140 ls watercolor paper and rather pedestrian sketching paper.jeanette, mistress of longearshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/longears/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-52538955015452885342009-05-04T15:10:00.000-05:002009-05-04T15:10:00.000-05:00Thanks for the heads-up.

I've always been tempted to pick up a Holbein multi-media sketchbook because they say it can handle a wash...but obviously not a lavish wash as on watercolour paper. I'll have to remember that.

You'...Vickie, what a wonderfully informative post! You're right, it is good to try a variety of papers, in part because they occasionally become unavailable. If you fall in love with only one paper and it disappears, you're in for a frustrating time of it. (I know, I've done that twice!)<br /><br />Love the larger size, too! I usually stick with something that will fit easily on my scanner, but you ARE freer with larger paper.Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-67098486559054974902009-05-04T08:04:00.000-05:002009-05-04T08:04:00.000-05:00Thank you, Zeladoniac.

For some reason there's less intimidation factor than there is with real watercolor paper.<br /><br />I love your red-shoulder, and the way you're writing OVER your sketches. Good design counts!zeladoniachttp://drawingthemotmot.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
