Working with watercolour outside the studio is always a gamble: paper that warps, a surface that gives way at the first wash... The XL^® Waves Watercolour book is here to make watercolour work anywhere. 

Its reversible hard cover adapts to every subject: a sweeping panorama on the landscape side, a face caught in the moment on the portrait side, without ever reaching for another support. The clean, modern design holds its own as an everyday object as much as a creative tool. It is made for those who want a sketchbook that matches their style.

Inside, the XL^® Watercolour paper features a cold pressed texture, absorbs water evenly and lets pigments settle with ease. A wash can be reworked, a wet area corrected, layers built up without the sheet warping or tearing. For a student learning to control dilutions and flat washes, that kind of reliable behaviour is a real asset. 

The spiral binding opens flat, no fuss. The two hard covers provide a firm painting surface, no extra board needed. In A5 format, the book slips into any school bag and is out in seconds whenever a subject is worth painting. A reliable companion for students who do not only create in the studio. 

The XL^® Waves Watercolour book brings together the demands of working on location and the pleasure of watercolour, so the urge to paint never goes unanswered.
