If you like to sketch, ink and erase before painting, forget about it. The paper will start to rub off and the papers fibers are super obvious, so it will ruin your hard work.
It suppose to handle a little bit of heavier washes, NOT. This buckles like it was a thin paper even when the paper is thicker than the usual watercolor journals. I am really disappointed because I thought it would be such a "good" journal to travel with. By the second day I had it in my backpack the blue cover started to peel off like it was some sort of film.
