Absolutely L😍VE this Jenna Rainey! Super cute! It’s the perfect size and the paper is amazing. It’s really the only sketchbook I’ve ever owned that I actually like because of the paper. (I’m a bit of a paper snob 😂). The paper is 140lb Prima Bianca Italian watercolor paper. It has a nice texture. Not too rough but not real smooth like hot press. The paper blends so well and was a joy to paint on. Definitely a must buy! Kudos to Jenna for creating another amazing book!
