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 adore this mixed media pad; its great for all the sorts of media I throw at it and its super low price makes it easy to use and abuse daily without guilt. I decorated the covers with my artwork as well and it held up nicely. My only complaint is the perforation causes the pages to fall out too easily and I ended up taping every single page in the book to keep it together. I wish Canson made this exact same pad without the perforated paper and Id buy them again and again. Alas, since the pages fall out, Ive started looking at other options.

Great paper. Tears out of the book easily with clean edges. Have mostly used with markers and colored pencils.

I was a little disappointed in packaging. Amazon packaged this in a large box with a wire fence I ordered. However, nothing was damaged. It came in excellent condition. I havent had a problem with ink/marker bleeding in the sketchbook. The paper is a perfect thickness. I am used to working in larger sketchbooks, but I have found that this is the perfect size sketchbook. Its easy to handle and is durable to most art mediums.

Happy to get this size of the Canson mixed media paper. It is light weight and so far been used for my watercolor and watercolor brush pens. It performs well but needs to be taped due to its lighter weight.

Did a small acrylic painting, added a few pastels. Nothing crazy and paper is super wrinkled. Does not hold up very well. Multi media without water is what they mean for this paper.

I have used acrylic paints, watercolor, Gesso, crayon and so much more. Love this and will definitely buy more of these. It is great for art journals.

This product is pretty good. The pages are a good size and the sketchbook is used for art journaling. The only problem or issue I had with the book was that whenever sharpie was used it always bled through, but the other mixed media sketchbooks that I’ve purchased don’t bleed.

yes. its a sketchbook. it hasnt broken. the blue cover is nice:)

This is a great paper pad for the price! I love using this pad for oil pastels or pencil sketches. I dont think the paper holds up well for acrylic. I tried my cheaper grade acrylic paint on it the other day for practice and the paper buckled and it was hard to blend.

Its good for painting, coloring, pens. Papers dont bleed that much.
