Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Paper Pad, Side Wire Bound, 9x12 inches, 40 Sheets (117lb/190g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Watercolor, Gouache, Graphite, Ink, Pencil, Marker

After using the small size (5.5 X 8.5), I wanted this paper in an 8 x 10 but this was the best alternative I could find. It takes spray inks beautifully as opposed to some papers which dont stay wet long enough for you to move the ink around at all. I am excited about this new art journal.

I love all Strathmore products and was delighted that I was able to purchase them on amazon. This mixed media pad came exactly as shown with no damages at all. It was packaged well and in beautiful condition. I cant wait to use it!

Schön dickes Papier, gut zu radieren und kam früher an als angegeben Könnte aber ein bisschen billiger wegen dem versandt

Me encanto

Much bigger than I thought. I got this for my son and his painting. He is 3.5 yrs old and like to finger paint. I let the pages air dry because he uses so much paint. I know it is expensive but it was a splurge buy. I would recommend this for painting. This notebook is versatile, you could do charcoal and gel pen coloring. If you did gel pen I do not think it would bleed.

I dislike the struggle to tear the pages free. For the price, they could certainly make separating a page out of the book less of a headache. What a way to start off each project.

I enjoy creating sketches in this and use my colored pencils to fill in with. Very good paper for Faber Castell or Prismacolor.

These are nice quality paper for beginners. I am using oil pastel on these. It goes on very nicely. It also tear easily.

This is good quality paper that works very well with watercolours, markers and a variety of other mediums. The texture is smooth and the paper is very white so it works well for most applications. I do wish that this paper had micro-perforation as some of them do, so the paper would more cleanly tear from the book, but otherwise, I am pretty happy with it. The price was pretty good for this here on Amazon as compared to local craft stores.

This paper is great for sketching but I wouldn’t recommend for painting on. Paint makes the pages curl & leaves the paper bumpy. Highly recommend for sketching only.
