One Color a Day Sketchbook - by Courtney Cerruti (Hardcover)

One Color A Day is an interesting and fun concept that is meant foster creative habits and play with watercolor, but the paper is NOT suitable for watercolor. Immediately after coming into contact with water, the page starts pilling resulting in ugly dark spots. The pages also warp, meaning that your color pools in places you don’t want it to. I’ve resorted to painting on cheap index cards, and don’t have the pilling issue. See my photos and compare for yourself the quality of the finish color on a $0.99 pack of index cards versus this $15+ book supposedly meant for watercolor. Even though has helped me get into the habit of painting every day, I’d say it’s NOT worth the money. You COULD use another medium to avoid the water issues, but entire point of the book is to practice using watercolor. So, I would steer clear.

Awesome book! I’ve made over 30 colors!
