The staff have given me great instructions on how to use what I buy.

I put black and toned watercolor paper in the corner of gouache rather than transparent watercolors. With the opaqueness of gouache you have the full range of colors and needn't limit yourself to a limited palette or greyscale or monotone scale. FYI I would never abbreviate watercolor with WC esp not followed by paper. You find yourself immediately in the sanitary section and the bathroom paper on rolls. 🤣

I recently saw a video in which James Gurney “under painted” his painting with acryla-gouache in a muted middle ground. The fact that the under-painting is done in waterproof but flat paint allows something similar but on a more stable ground like Crescent Board. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think I will give a try.

You, my friend, are _such_ a cotton-paper snob! LOL!!! That made me smile! I used to buy toned sketchbooks, but ended up giving them to students years ago because I just never used them. I'm actually editing a new video now (about accordion sketchbooks) and one of them is on Strathmore 500 Series 100% cotton slate blue charcoal paper. I'd have to test it with watercolor, but I don't think it would be good, but still it's a great alternative to regular white paper. My question on these is if you were in a pinch and had to buy only one toned watercolor sketchbook to work with forever, would these Hahnemühle's be your go-to, or is there another that would you'd reach for first? As always, this is a top-notch introduction to these sketchbooks! Thank you and really enjoyed every minute of this one! Be well! ~ Mark

Hey thanks Mark. In answer to your question, I would probably reach for the Stillman & Birn. Not really because of watercolor but for the purpose of handling a variety of media. The Hahnemühle are nice but I would love a slightly bigger book which I can get in a S&B. They are heavy enough to take a certain amount of watercolor and gouache and I like that they are a bit darker. If I was only going to paint in watercolor I would probably choose the Hahnemühle but I actually prefer dry media or a media mix most of the time in toned books. I just wish H. made theirs one size larger. I'm not big on tiny sketchbooks. Thanks for watching dude!

No issues with either cold or hot press. I mostly use cold press. Arches has responded consistently for me for over 40 years. The sizing issues I think are mostly repeated rumor (every time someone has a problem) or isolated occurrences and not related to manufacturing. Humidity and poor dealer storage can play a part.
