Thank you for reviewing this sketchbook! I just bought one the other day. I think it will be worth the price! Thank you for sharing your art as well. :)
MyPetiteCakes I use a Panasonic GH4. Any of the Micro Four Thirds cameras from Panasonic can give very good video quality. The GH2, GH3 and GH4 are the ones with microphone input for better sound. I think there are other Panasonic cameras with microphone input.
I dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my password. I love any tips you can offer me
your videos deserve so much more recognition! whenever i want to find a good art review, your videos always pop up! do you have any top suggestions for somewhat beginner watercolourists like me to get an affordable but high quality sketchbook with a lot of pages? you should make a video of your top ten!
Ok I tried this yesterday and I am torn. The paper I currently use before this one is Arches 300 cold press that I had cut into 5X7 size. I like this new one but don't love it. I guess in my mind I keep wanting to compare it to the Arches, which is not good. Hah. I will keep using it and finish the book. It's good to try new things.
Guess what just arrived today,... thanks to you,....... I have my very first, proper, watercolour sketchbook!!! Thank you Teoh for doing the review on this... I'm going to try my best to fill it with worthy sketches! :)
+AllyKatPerth You can post them on your Google+ page. Then you can have a place to check back in the future. I post some of my sketches on my Google+ pages also. plus.google.com/u/0/+TeohYiChie
+Teoh Yi Chie Thank you Teoh!!!! Ooooh and by the way,... if ever you want to visit Australia again and come to SA.... you're very welcome to stay with us!!!!
I couldn’t find this sketchbook on Amazon when I searched for Global Art Materials. At the Speedballart.com website, it says “SPEEDBALL NOW THE OFFICIAL HOME OF GLOBAL ART PRODUCTS”. To find this sketchbook, do a search in Amazon for “Speedball Art 769525 Art Journal”.
I love the way the book is bound to lie flat, and love the elongated 5.25 x 8.25 format. I bought this a while back, based on your review. But so far, am having a hard time doing subtle graded washes. It's fine working wet on dry with no nuance.
Hi teoh! Thank you for taking the time to make these reviews. If you had to pick between this travelogue handbook and stillman and birn beta series- used primarily for watercolor- which would you choose? I ordered a small khadi sketchbook on your suggestion and it's on it's way but I also want a large format sketchbook because I am most used to painting large. Thank you!!
I kinda prefer the Travelogue handbook, the one with the watercolour paper. I feel the paper is more suitable for watercolor. Stillman & Birn feels like cartridge paper even though it's thicker.
Amazing video! I was wondering if the paper would hold other medias like acrylics, pencils and maybe oil paints/pastels? I was looking for a mixed media sketchbook but saw this one and was wondering if this one would be just as good.
I always appreciate your reviews of products. You’re very impartial and cover the important aspects. My husband gave me the larger square Global Watercolor Journal and I absolutely love it. I’m wondering if you know what brand of paper they use. I prefer to sketch my own sketchbooks and would like to buy this paper in bulk...
Wow, I just looked for this sketchbook on the german Amazon page and the prices are awefully high! How much did you pay for this? I would have to pay at least around 50$ for one book.
Enjoy your videos, very infomative and helpful for beginners like myself, and your sketches are so fun! I recently tried a Stillman & Birn Delta series for light to medium watercolor washes. I found the paper to be very stiff, which is good for not warping and not bleeding thru when using any markers. But I found had was the paper would pil a bit if I tried even some light layering. Any slight rubbing of the brush seemed to also pil the paper and leave snag-looking marks on it. Do you think this Global Arts one is less thick and "cardboardish" than the S&B deltas? Have you experienced any of these problems with this sketchbook? Thanks :)
+K Mitchell Usually for such sketchbooks, the paper do not have cotton content and if you have too many layers, the paper fiber will start to come off. There aren't many sketchbooks with cotton content watercolour paper.
I know I post a lot on your channel so let me know if I'm ever annoying you ;-). I've seen the one you reviewed. I just wonder what one would put in the pocket panorama version.
+James Barton No problem. For small to tiny sketchbooks, I just draw very simplified sketches since the space does not allow for detail work. The size allows you to bring it anyway and draw any time.
hi teoh, where did you buy this global art material journal? I tried buying from amazon but it couldn't ship to Singapore? any other online shop you recommend?
+dragonfly4g I had to ship it via a third party mail forwarder. Anyway, you can try the Pentalic 300gsm sketchbook if that's too much of a hassle. www.amazon.com/Pentalic-100-Percent-Cotton-Watercolor-Journal/dp/B00479VQOE?tag=ttmus-20
Dude, really!! You got all the videos that i need. I apreciate your effort in your channel. Thank YOU and i wish you the best!

I love your channel! I am considering getting the square version of this sketchbook thankyou for reviewing
How does this compare to the moleskin watercolor sketchbook??
Moleskin is thin and quite yellow.

Global Art Materials is good. Some like Moleskine. As for others, you can check out the reviews at www.parkablogs.com/tags/sketchbooks-drawing
I just bought one of these at my local art supply store that is 8X8. Super stocked to try it out.

Not sure what paper or brand of paper they use. I only know it's coldpress, 200gsm.
Thank you. Where are they made?
I like this one. Thanks Teoh
+David Lorell Thanks 😊
Wow, I just looked for this sketchbook on the german Amazon page and the prices are awefully high!
How much did you pay for this?
I would have to pay at least around 50$ for one book.
firecloud It might be cheaper for you to buy from Amazon USA and ship to Germany. I paid USD $17 including shipping (to Singapore).
Ok, that`s a big difference. Thank you.
How to get your paint so opaque and rich? I use the same paint and sketch paper as you .
Are you planning to ever review the molskine watercolour sketchbook? Or if you have already could you link it, thank you!
I’ve reviewed it on my blog www.parkablogs.com/content/review-moleskine-folio-a4-watercolor-sketchbook

can you use markers on those sketch books?
You can. But markers are best used on smoother paper, not watercolor paper.
can the paper handle dip pens?
and do you know other brands of watercolor paper suitable for dip pens and watercolor?
It can
Oh ok thanks alot
I keep seeing your videos. I'm gonna sub.

That's pretty cool. Gives me ideas. Thanks.
