These are honestly the most beautiful sketchbooks I've ever owned. The Luchetti True-Flat is exactly the sketchbook I'd always wanted. I've tried so many others over the years and was never satisfied, but this one lies completely flat with no gutter, so I can work right across the spread without fighting the spine. The 600gsm cotton pages are wonderfully thick and take whatever I throw at them. It's such a lovely book that it makes me want to draw and paint more. The customer service has been wonderful too, warm, responsive and clearly passionate about what they make. I couldn't recommend Luchetti more highly.

Love it. Best paper I've ever used

A beautiful sketch book! Perfect for watercolour painting.

Love, love, love!

I've been really enjoying painting in the Luchetti True-Flat™ Sketchbook (8" Square)!

The 100% cotton, 600 GSM paper is beautifully thick and sturdy, and I love how it handles watercolor. It gives me the freedom to play with loose washes, layer colors, and add little details without worrying about the paper buckling.

The true-flat binding is another feature I absolutely love. The pages open completely flat, which makes painting so much easier, especially when working across the page. And the 8" square size is just perfect for my florals!

It's honestly become my new favorite sketchbook.

This is a dream sketchbook for any artist…starting from the packaging till the final product it’s premium quality…the premium marble box is luxe along with 2 stickers (not to forget) adds a cute touch. The paper can take tones of layers of watercolors that’s how good quality it is without crumbling…like it says IT TRULY LAYS FLAT making it perfect to paint 2 page spreads❤️🫶🏻

It's amazing, seriously these pages can take a lot of layers. I've been practicing gouache and it's been great.
Can't wait to buy another one.
Thanks Luchetti!

"I made a quick study and really enjoyed the Luchetti sketchbook. The paper weight prevents unwanted warping, and the seamless two-page spread allows for wide-open horizons. The texture and durability of the paper are excellent. A luxurious piece with a fine finish. Well worth trying. Cárcamo"

Hands down, the best sketchbook for watercolor!

I will never buy another brand of sketchbook as long as Luchetti keeps making theirs! Everything about this makes me want to be creative. The quality and design is a work of art in itself. I was always a cold press painter, but not anymore. Haven’t tried the cold press yet because someone recommended I try hot press first. Let me tell you, this hot press is better than any surface I’ve ever painted on. Thank you!! Getting ready to order my 2nd book. Already filled the one I bought in May. (new record for me)
Thank you Carlo, you truly are an artist! ❤️

I absolutely love this watercolor sketchbook! I had some reservations—I was worried the paper might warp when it came into contact with water, or that the pigments wouldn’t look the way they should—but I was pleasantly surprised. The paper performed perfectly: it didn’t warp at all, and the pigments appear truly vibrant and intense. The color of the covers is very tasteful, and the overall presentation feels like a real luxury. Most importantly, what truly sets this sketchbook apart is the absence of edges, which allows the watercolor to flow with complete freedom. Thank you, LUCHETTI, for keeping artists in mind when creating this magnificent sketchbook.

I just received my "hot press" version of the sketchbook; this is my third Luchetti sketchbook, and I'm enjoying the surface; I've doused it with ink, coffee, tea, applied gouache, acrylic, charcoal....and the tick 600 sheets take all the abuse that I give it and stands up as if nothing happened. Try it; you'll be inspired!

Unbelievably good, a true artisan product that seems to elicit emotion all by itself… I have never had paper guide me before this, and I put that down to passion, pride, and attention to detail from luchetto.

Love my Luchetti sketchbook. Best watercolor paper ever! Handles wet on wet techniques really well.

I love this book so much that I just ordered my second one. The paper & quality are awesome!!!

This sketchbook could be the best I’ve ever owned. It’s thick, gutter-free, stays flat, and is large enough to fit all my ideas on a single spread.

I've been searching for a high quality, durable sketchbook like this for some time! The paper is thick, has a lovely texture and I love the "lay flat" feature! I will certainly be taking this on a future trip!

I love my new Luchetti True Flat sketchbook. The paper is very thick, really stays flat and I can paint on the front and the back side of each sheet with no problems.

The paper is wonderful! I did washes and added multiple layers of color. I was also able to easily lift color. The size is a bit intimidating, but now that I've completed a full-page painting, I'm excited to do more!

I am on my second Luchetti sketchbook using mostly watercolors and ink. The gutterless binding works perfectly. No bleed through onto other pages. Coming from A4 sketchbooks I wasn’t sure about the square 8”” x 8” format. However it hasn’t been a problem. The CP cotton paper has a nice texture, but maybe it could have a bit more sizing. I have not tried a very wet edge to edge very wet wash to see how the laminated pages hold up. I miss a back pocket for my random ephemera, but again not really a problem if you want a lay flat book. Overall a strong 9.5/10.
