Nature Journal: A Guided Journal for Illustrating and Recording Your Observations of the Natural World

While this is a nice idea as an accompaniment to Clare Walker Leslie's book, the paper is just awful. It is thin, smooth & shiny, unabsorbant and completely without "tooth". It will not take any sort of water media, and is very poor for coloured pencils. It will just about take a pencil sketch. I recommend that you save your money and buy a book of proper watercolour or thick cartridge paper from your local art store.Fabriano do a nice one called "Venezia" which is available from Heaton Cooper.
