Traveler's Notebook Passport Size Refill "015" watercolor

Refill 015 brings genuine watercolour paper to the Traveler's Notebook Passport format – textured, water-resistant, and saddle-stitched. The booklet holds 24 pages in 12.4 × 8.9 cm format and fits precisely into all Passport-Size covers from Traveler's Company. Each page is perforated, peels away cleanly, and can be gifted or framed straight away.

Features

• Watercolour paper with subtle texture: The slightly rough surface withstands water washes without buckling – colour pigments settle visibly in the paper texture, lending watercolour work depth and granulation.
• Water resistance: The paper is noticeably heavier and more water-resistant than the standard Sketchpaper Refill, making wet techniques with watercolour, gouache or ink possible without damaging the page.
• Perforated pages: Each page pulls away cleanly and straight along the perforation – ideal for hand-painted postcards, small art prints or archiving in a portfolio.
• Saddle-stitched: The binding lies flat, stays stable while painting and adds no extra bulk to existing notebook configurations.
• Blank: No lines, no grid – the white surface invites free composition and works equally well for sketches, watercolour miniatures and collage.
• Made in Japan: Paper and binding meet Traveler's Company Japanese manufacturing standards.

Use & Tips

• Watercolour and gouache on the move: The compact format makes the refill ideal for travel – colour washes with wet techniques can be applied without the paper wrinkling. Allow layers to dry between turns of the page.
• Pencil and fountain pen sketches: The subtle paper texture adds character to pencil strokes and holds fountain pen ink and india ink reliably, without feathering.
• Collage and mixed media: Stuck-on tickets, photos or washi tape adhere to the robust watercolour paper without showing through to the back.
• Hand-made postcards: Perforated pages peel away and can be sent directly as painted cards – the format is roughly postcard-sized.
• Combine multiple refills: If you want to use the watercolour refill alongside a notes or calendar refill, connect both with the matching Connecting Band (Passport Size) in your cover.

For Sketch Enthusiasts

Refill 015 paper is heavier and more textured than Sketchpaper Refill 008 – the difference is tangible in direct comparison: more resistance under the brush, clearer pigment layering on the surface, more stable behaviour with multiple washes. The slight tooth also works well for soft pastel accents or dry brush work. If you sketch with a fountain pen and water-based ink and then add watercolour, this paper gives you a robust working surface in pocket format.
