Strathmore 400 Series Visual Journal Watercolour

A watercolour journal is useful when you want to keep paintings, studies and experiments together in a portable format rather than working with loose sheets. The cold-pressed surface provides enough texture for traditional watercolour techniques while remaining versatile for mixed-media additions.

The heavy-duty cover and strong wire binding let the journal open flat and 360 degrees, making it comfortable to use across a desk, easel or outdoor painting setup. The smaller format is convenient for travel and daily studies, while the 9 x 12 inch format gives more room for larger paintings and detailed compositions.
