Which is the best sketchbook? Taking a look at the Etchr watercolour sketchbook

In the interests of full disclosure, I was sent this sketchbook for free (thank you to ‪@EtchrLab‬) but I said I would only do a review if I could be 100% honest, so this film is my true opinion. It is the A5 portrait watercolour book with 100% cotton paper and a NOT/cold pressed surface. These sketchbooks aren't cheap, but they have a cult following among artists, so take a look with me and see what you think before you buy. I also share some ideas for getting over the fear of starting a new sketchbook. I try out fineliners, watercolour, Platinum Carbon ink, Quink, fountain pens and Stabilo Point 88 pens. I plan to use mine for urban sketching, so I really want to see how the paper takes pen and wash. For comparison, I show it alongside the Moleskine sketchbook I am currently using. This is not specifically for watercolour, but it is interesting to compare size, paper, binding and price. In the UK you can buy Etchr materials through Jacksons Art (www.jacksonsart.com. Elsewhere, go to www.etchrlab.com to find out about shipping to your country. You might also like to see how I painted the cover in line and wash watercolour. In hindsight, I should have prepared it with watercolour ground or gesso, but I was excited to try it and just jumped in.
