Canson XL Series Mix Paper Pad, Heavyweight, Fine Texture, Heavy Sizing for Wet or Dry Media, Side Wire Bound, 98 Pound, 5.5 x 8.5 in, 60 Sheets, 5.5X8.5

I use this paper pad for sketching and painting. It works great for mediums that dont use a lot of water. For watercolors I usually remove a sheet from the pad and tape it to a sturdy surface to prevent the paper from curling.

The perforation takes a fair bit of work to remove. This may be due to the sheer thickness of the paper, however. The actual paper itself is fantastic and takes anything I throw at it. Note: This same paper stock is available in a roll.

I wanted to get into sketching so I was on the fence about which book I should get. I am definitely happy I stuck with this one. The materials aren’t cheap and it shows. It’s not too heavy and it’s the perfect size. At least for me, everyone is different. But if your considering sketching and not sure if this one is worth it then trust me when I say it is.

Bought for my Granddaughter and i never see her with out it. I pick her up after school and she draws in it almost everyday. She loves the quality of the paper.

Not too thick, just right. Easy to rip off binder page by page.

Could withstand watercolor better, but its good otherwise.

GOOD FER DRAWIN

Great paper.

I love the versatility this paper allows for art and drawing. It takes color beautifully as well as pencil, charcoal, pastels and conte crayon. I highly recommend it.

exactly what i wanted.
