New Flunbrato Watercolor Sketchbook unboxing and test! (Patreon)
Content
Hey friends 🌿
I’m testing out a new watercolor sketchbook that was sent to me from Flunbrato.
It’s a 10x7” refillable sketchbook with a ring binder design, so you can actually pull the watercolor sheets in and out — which is really interesting for practice pieces, planning studies, or even finishing work outside the book.
I’m painting a loose lupine wildflower in the demo using my Rosa Gallery watercolors so you can see how the paper handles layering, water, and soft blending in real time.
A few things I really liked about it right away:
100% cotton 300gsm (140lb) watercolor paper
Dual-sided texture so both sides are usable
Refillable system with replaceable sheets (hot and cold press)
A portable size that works for both studio and travel sketching
I’m still testing it, but I wanted to share an honest first look while I paint in it and see how it behaves with loose florals and wetter techniques.
If you’ve been curious about different sketchbooks or portable painting setups, this one’s fun to explore.
Let me know what you think after you watch it 🌸
