Big Moleskines
The last few months I've been working in the "large" moleskines. I bought these before the really large, folio ones came out. I've started to really like the watercolor paper. The washes are smooth and the paper is silky.

Three kinds of Moleskines
This year I have been drawing and painting in tiny and not so tiny books called Moleskines. At first I used the sketch books with a thick, buff colored paper that takes pencil and ink well but not watercolor. Adding acrylic flow improver helps with the watercolor sticking to the paper. The large size sketch book paper is almost yellow in color. Finally I tried the watercolor moleskine. I love bright white paper but I don't think I will use the "tear out" feature. The accordion sketchbook paper has a slightly different feel but that may just be the batch.
