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

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.

Super pour mon cours des couleurs et dessins

Love looking pen with a balanced hold

Great size, paper and value—I will buy again

Good sketch book for mixed media. Nice thick paper hold up well to watercolor. Ive tried others but keep coming back for more.

Watercolor, pen, pencil- it can handle them all. Nice little book to take everywhere for quick drawing and painting. Love it!

Great for traveling! I like the quality of paper for my mixed media. I mostly used watercolors and it did what it was supposed to.

On time and good product

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 is my favorite sketch book. I can just use pencil or if I use limited water use watercolor. I put a clear plastic cutting board sheet under the page Im working on to eliminate leakage and indentation. I teach art classes and recommend this versatile sketch book to my students. Great buy for the money.
