@Tini Lately, my thinking is that having a tiny, cute little square sketchbook will make me more likely to want to stop hiking a paint, and after some false starts, I learned that searching for "tiny 100% cotton watercolor paper sketchbook" on Amazon brings up some good candidates from random chinese vendors for not much money. The same thing would probably work on Aliexpress. The paper is not Arches, but it's still servicable. 3/8

@ben For this year’s hike, I treated myself to a “ZigZagBook” from Hahnemühle with 18 pages for painting (300gsm). (132g / 15x 15cm)
It was perfect. The cover provides a sturdy base, the size is ideal, and it looks great when folded up. They're also available in 5x5 cm
I like to use A5 landscape-format sketchbooks made of 100% cotton, 300gsm, when I’m just going out for some urban sketching (and the weight doesn’t matter).

@Tini Oh, I like the zigzag book. That looks cool! And practical. You could even do a giant panorama.
