Review: Portable Perfection - Okay, I admit it, I've tried a million other notebooks and journals telling myself "why pay more for the name". I guess I have wasted more dollars looking for the right journal and should have paid more attention to the reviews that I thought were based solely on "Moleskine snobbery". The paper is perfect and stands up to washes better than most notebook journal/sketchpad papers. The fact there is 75 wonderful pages is even better! The size is perfect, and the binding is flexible to keep the opposite page from folding over on you while you are working. The book lays flat without sacrificing the binding. I love the perforated sheets, they don't tear when you don't want them to, but if you want to remove a page (maybe a page you really messed up and want removed immediately without messing up your whole book) its a cinch! Of course the bookmark is nifty to get you where you are going fast, and the elastic closure means you can stuff it in your bag without worrying you will end up with dog eared pages or rips, plus it keeps things from falling out. Who can live without the pocket?! Perfect for keeping ticket stubs or "souvenirs" or snapshots to add to your book or refer to while painting or sketching. The paper is smooth enough to keep detail in your work but textured enough to give depth and contrast and stand up to your watercolor! This is "THE ONE" to buy! Review: My favorite gouache paper! - I really enjoy this paper for gouache paint! it has a good texture but not too toothy/gritty that i noticed some watercolor pads can be. Perfect medium thickness. It doesnt leak to the other side and the paper stays nice and flat while painting. I recommend usng small binder clips to keep the paper flat during painting so it stays that way as it dries :) And its small enough for a purse if needed. ## Features - VERSATILE WATERCOLOR ALBUM FOR DAILY USE: Large size (5" x 8.25" / 13 Γ— 21 cm) with 72 pages, offering generous space for watercolor sketches, studies, and finished pieces. - 200 g/mΒ² COLD-PRESSED COTTON-BLEND PAPER: Heavyweight 135 lb watercolor paper, acid-free and usable on both sides to support expressive, layered painting. - EXCELLENT WATER HANDLING: Designed to withstand heavy washes, blending, and erasing without compromising paper integrity. - CLASSIC HARD COVER PROTECTION: Black hard cover with rounded corners safeguards pages and supports flat, comfortable painting. - DESIGNED FOR ARTISTS: A dependable watercolor album suited for studio work, classes, and creative practice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 8883705629 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,573 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #286 in Hardcover Executive Notebooks | | Brand | Moleskine | | Brand Name | Moleskine | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,775 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09788883705625 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8.25"L x 5"W | | Item Weight | 0.29 kg | | Manufacturer | Moleskine | | Manufacturer Part Number | ARTMM804 | | Material | Paper | | Material Type | Paper | | Model Number | ARTMM804 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Paper Dimensions | 5 x 8.25 inches | | Paper Finish | Watercolor | | Paper Weight | 67 | | Product Dimensions | 8.25"L x 5"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing | | Sheet Count | 72 | | Style | Watercolor Album | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Moleskine - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Paper - **Paper Dimensions:** 5 x 8.25 inches - **Paper Finish:** Watercolor ## Images ![Watercolor Notebooks - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813AfqkZ9+L.jpg) ![Watercolor Notebooks - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GIC68gCbL.jpg) ![Watercolor Notebooks - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31vEFJiwX3L.jpg) ![Watercolor Notebooks - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bQhoyPy8L.jpg) ![Watercolor Notebooks - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41t3fVWyWjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portable Perfection *by A***A on March 23, 2008* Okay, I admit it, I've tried a million other notebooks and journals telling myself "why pay more for the name".

Perfect medium thickness. It doesnt leak to the other side and the paper stays nice and flat while painting. I recommend usng small binder clips to keep the paper flat during painting so it stays that way as it dries :) And its small enough for a purse if needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the one they are all talking about and using. *by E***. on April 22, 2012* I am so glad I finally bought this notebook. I do a lot of "Urban Sketching" and have tried many different notebooks. This has all the elements I needed. First and foremost, the quality of the paper is very high. Washes and inks don't bleed through, you can use the next page, and even the back of the used ones! Next it has a nice firm cover, you can sketch, draw, paint, with it in your hand without it bending, yet it is not so thick as to make it bulky. In addition it is an excellent size. It is bound so you can work portrait style on a single page, or flat open for a really wide landscape picture. It is also a sewn binding so it makes a continuous picture that way. The rounded corners save my clothes and bags from the wear and tear of the usual sharp corners. The elastic band is a necessity to keep it closed when being dragged all over creation. The interior pocket has come in very handy too! ## Frequently Bought Together - Moleskine Art Watercolor Album, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Plain/Blank, Black, 72 Pages - Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II Water-Soluble Pastels, 15 Colors - Turner Acrylic Paint Set Artist Acryl Gouache - Super Concentrated Vibrant Acrylics, Fast Drying, Velvety Matte Finish - [Set of 12 | 20 ml Tubes] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1834016-watercolor-notebooks](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1834016-watercolor-notebooks) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
