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

When used with acrylics paints, there is a page curling, especially when diluting the paint with a small amount of water. As a scratch pad, works just fine. If looking to tear out the sheets (via the perforations on each sheet) and give to someone as a quick gift, the pages are too thin and curly. Will move up to something heavier and with fewer pages for my next scratch pad.

I bought this to use as an art journal, wanting to use ink, watercolor, pencil and collage. So far not only has every page worked well, the pieces DID NOT bleed through to the other side, nor has the paper crumbled. This brand & type is my new favorite

Perfect for all my artistic needs! I can paint, draw, sketch and it won’t bleed through.

Decent price on a familiar name.

I love this sketchbook and get it all the time but I was sad that it came slightly damaged this time.

LOVE this sketchbook!! Was exactly what I was looking for. The quality is great and I can use it for such a wide variety of art styles.

Great texture, sturdy enough for ink, good color. Ive bought like five of these.

Ive been using this type of sketchbook for years and absolutely recommend to any artist. Paper is think enough that ink doesnt bleed through, cover is well made and the spiral bound holds the pages nicely together. If you want to take one of your pages out, no worries! The pages are perforated so you can tear them out easily without getting that spiral edge.

Works great with and kind of art!

I use this to practice watercolors and other media. It is the perfect weight paper. I can paint in it and it holds up well. I can cut my artwork out of it to use as collage as well. This is my new go to for daily practice and small works.
