    This will be great for my daughters water color painting, no more wrinkled pages. Fast delivery, met my expectations. Thanks!

    I purchased this for my daughter for her art class as the teacher suggested. She really loves it and cant stop drawing in it.

    This is a nice notebook for watercolor painting. The paper has good texture and is nice to work with. No difficulties with bleedthrough and it resists buckling pretty well (it’s the left notebook in the picture). The paper handles scrubbing well. It’s definitely thick enough to paint on both sides of the sheets. I’ll compare this to the Montval Canson watercolor notebook, which is usually in the same price range. The visual journal is noticeably smaller in both dimensions, even though they have the same listed size. It resists buckling much better, which is something I was really looking for (see picture). Otherwise, the two seem really comparable. If you’re doing anything with washes or really wet work, this is easier to work with.

    GOOD, HEAVY PAPER. I USE OIL PASTELS & TURPENTINE ALONG WITH CHARCOAL, PASTELS AND WATERCOLORS ON THIS PAPER AND HAVE SCRUBBED IT, TOO. LOVE THIS STRATHMORE PAPER AND WILL DEFINITELY CONTINUE ORDERING IT.

    This is my absolute favorite journal. I have used then as a part of my traveling art kit for a few years now. It made it so much easier for me to create watercolor paintings while traveling in Rome and Grand Cayman.

    For students and aspiring artists of all ages, I absolutely recommend this sketchbook. The first thing I appreciate is the cover. If youve ever had flimsy sketchbook covers, then you know that the back cover wears down quickly allowing the sketchbook to bend while youre drawing. The Visual Journal title page is printed on a piece of paper that rips off to reveal two strong covers (front and back). No bending here! The wire coils are sturdy and havent bent yet- even after being crammed in my backpack. Each sheet of paper includes a more cold press tooth on the front and a smoother surface on the back. I usually draw on the front of the page, which holds graphite well and resists smearing. Ive also used charcoal, but havent experimented with wet media or ink yet. I will update my review when I do. All in all- a wonderful sketchbook for a great price!

    Perfect for what I bought it, an art journal. But the paper is only 90 lb, so nothing too wet!!

    Great quality waterpaper despite not being 100% cotton. I cant compare to something like Arches as I havent used that, but it blows other cheaper watercolour paper out of the water. The goofy front cover tears off to reveal a much more tasteful brown hardcover. Will definitely be using this as my go-to watercolour sketchbook.
