The Birds Watercolor Workbook is designed with practicality and convenience in mind. Its spiral binding allows the pages to lay flat for hassle-free painting, while each page is printed on thick 120lb watercolor paper that resists warping and bleeding, providing a professional-quality surface for your paints. The workbook also features tear-out pages, so your completed artwork can be easily displayed, gifted, or framed. At a 6.5" x 9" travel-ready size, it’s perfect for bringing along to workshops, art retreats, or even cozy afternoons at a café.
