*To create the whole Nature Diary you will need 13 pieces that are the same size. The best paper to use
if you are using watercolours is watercolour paper. You can use paper from a watercolour pad so that
you do not need to cut the paper. If you do not have watercolour paper thick painting paper (eg.
sketching paper) should also be ok but it would be a good idea to test it with your paint first.
