Link for this book doesn't work.

I love Kilomanjaro 300 lb paper in the sheet form. I never stretch it and I use both sides if I have a failed painting. It is my second choice after Arches and much less expensive. If you love hot press you must try Baohong Satinado in Block Form. It is surprisingly wonderful to paint on. It's my new favorite for florals. Thank you for a great video. I so agree with you.

I don't like a coiled sketchbook at all. 😢

Great tutorial. You could not have explained it more clearly!

Why don’t artists just take some sheets of their favourite paper, punch holes down one side, and coil bind them into a book? I don’t understand the need for purchasing these.

Could you share what kind of light your circular clamp on fluorescent light is? We are looking for something very much like that for our mother who has glaucoma…

Love it

My favorites are Etchr’s Perfect (not the white canvas, don’t care for those) and for a less pricey option, the 100% cotton Hahnamule. I would like to try Koval, about as pricey as Etchr. I like Stillman & Birn Alpha for sketching, light wash. The Beta, no. I stopped buying unless I already know I like the paper. Will have to try Kilimanjaro.

Love your work. I am just learning watercolor painting as I primarily painted with acrylic. Having a bit of a tough time getting used to WC painting opposed to acrylic. Huge difference. May I ask what WC paints are you using in your videos? Thank you for your knowledge and info you provide in your videos!

I love your style! I watch a lot of art content and you are defiantly my favourite watercolour painter

Gotta say I agree with the Grinch's assessment of the Hahnemuhle Akademie book. I bought one for landscape sketching en plein air. It's awful.

Ich empfehle dir eine koptische bindung für deine selbstgemachten sketchbooks =) dann liegt das papier immer ganz flach auf

Unfortunately Cheap Joes doesn’t ship out of the USA. So for most of the world they won’t be able to get the Kilimanjaro book unless they visit the US.

The cherubs, and the sparrow!

sometimes I look at even the easels that you attach to tripods and go 'nah'. your setup looks nice and simple and inexpensive. those darn art toolkits every time I see one I have to stop my other hand from buying one.

I wish you. Had kept painting for us. 😢

Is Kilimanjaro Cheap Joe's house brand? I like how thoughtful the design is!

I am currently using the Etchr Perfect Sketchbook Signature Series with Fabriano Artistico 100% cold press watercolor paper. B5 portrait. I love it and for those of us in Europe who cannot get our hands on the Kilimanjaro, I think it is the perfect alternative without having tried the Kilimanjaro, but based on your description.

Wow, I guess you are so much better at watercolour, than language… Spelled watercolour completely wrong, clearly never even finished primary school. Oh well 🙄 Your channel name has the same typo. Pathetic….

Hello Morrison, that was a very nice tour through your sketchbooks. I have not bought one or fallen one I am a beginner and also want to find my favorite paper. I very much think that I have to find my favorite paper on my own.many greetings from Christiane Berlin Germany I have subscribed your channel. 😊😊

Since this video was made, Hanhemule has released a 100%cotton watercolor sketchbook. I’m interested in your thoughts on it. I DO like Cheap Joe’s paper. I also like Bee Creative 100% cotton book. It’s even harder to find.

Little late getting onto the Kilimanjaro bandwagon here, but will be purchasing the 9x12 portrait. Not my usual size and format but what the heck trying all new things. Thank you and the Grinch

HI Will. Hope you’re well and haven’t quit RUclips. Gonna binge watch your older videos now…. love your work =)

I thought it was just a color wheel , but its a road to adventure! Love it

Very nice!! Did you use a reference photo? Can you share it with us please? It would help me a lot with the learning process to see the actual shadows on the actual blossoms. Thank you.

Very beautiful! ❤ And no, the background activity doesn’t bother me.

Ach ich schlafe ein bei deinem video ccchr

Love it!

I have 3 and don't have any of these problems. 2 for watercolor cotman, van gogh, holbein and 1 for holbein gouache.

Cheap Joe used these all the time when he came to classes in Boone. I love Kilimanjaro but I go through too much paper painting 30 portraits or more a week so the cost would be prohibitive. I use what was Cheap Joes fav before he made the Kilimanjaro books. Kilimanjaro is his brand and sold nowhere else. Neither is the loose Kilimanjaro. The book I use was Joe’s fav from before he made his own books Bee Papers super aquabee. Runs abt 20 for the size u like 9x12 only in portrait. 90# paper which eventually dries almost smooth. I suppose I could iron it but not going to bother. Oddly I do not like bee papers 140#paper nearly as much.

Such a lovely way to capture the Arc de Triomphe, really wonderful!

What light do you have on the tripod in front of your sketchbook? It looks amazingly bright for such a tiny light.

What brush is that you are using?

I appreciate your thoughtful and insightful review. Yes, I agree it’s important to make time and do the demos. Good point. I’m curious if you’ve read and your thoughts on “Capturing Light in Watercolor” by Marilyn Simandle and any books by Charles Reid?

Thank you for sharing your beautiful journal and congrats on finishing it!!👏🏼

Good to know! Thanks. The One I have doesn't erase pencil well.

I am so excited to have seen your video title about a new BEST not so known watercolor sketchbook. I am embarking into the world of watercolors and watercolor and other specialtiy things like that for my mediums. I also want to incorporate mixed media throughout my life journals. I am a writer as well and was thinking that I would need to remove the pages tp place them into another holder in order to include the writing. What would your suggestions for that be? I am so creative that deciding upon just.one.thing is nearly impossible. I AM going to purchase a few of these notebook. I believe in the singular experience of creating your own notebooks as well. I am going to follow you. I have a number of other sketchbooks that I bought for a college class that are unused. I figure that they will need to be worked into the group. of journals for swatching or sketching.

It's good to give it a good wash before you fill it. That's what I do with mine and the paint sticks better.

I just found your channel and immediately ordered this paper ! Thank you for review of various papers.

My last Kiliminjaro sketchbook had its siral being fall apart. Cheap Joes replaced it, but all my hard work in the sketchbook was no longer bound. That's been years ago so I'll give them another try.

Many 😊 thanks

I can't agree with you more. the best sketchbookis always the one you make. every comercial sketchbook is either too expensive, has bad quality paper. doesn't ships where i live, or is clumsy to use. if i make my sketchbook i always have the paper i want. it always fits my budget, is the right size and it is prettier

Super pretty 🤩

I don’t know if itll help but when i had one years ago I found putting down little dots of paint held better than a full size pan amount of paint.

This is nice 👏☺

Good to know I guess, but can't get them cus: Germany.

Indeed, it's awesome. I pray many would come to know His great love and their intrinsic worth. May your art draw many.

Would love to try one of these 😢 only in America though.

I love your 2 pgs.of illustrated Bible verses! Powerful Truth! Thanks. I am a newbie watercolorist. I am looking for a journal with 100% cotton paper, but small. I've never painted on cotton, so diligently searching (and praying). ❤
