Strathmore 460-55 400 Series Visual Watercolor Journal, 140 LB Cold Press, 5.5x8, 22 Sheets , White

The quality of this paper is awesome!! Love for colored pencil sketches!! Strathmore is my favorite brand! I bought this for practice, sketches! It would also be great for finished artwork!

Excellent paper! Im enjoying my journaling !

I love the Strathmore Visual Journal it is by far one of the best journals I have worked in.I generally make my own journals when Im in the mood but I wanted a wire journal and decided to give this one a chance.I use alot of water on my pages and Im use to having to make my own journal from 140lb Strathmore Sheets.This journal uses the same paper and since its wire bound it lays flat.The paper will buckle slightly when its wet and I get it really wet.However if you set it to the side it will dry fairly quickly and when it has it is once again completely flat.The paper is excellent quality a professional artist will love it.

Best Mixed Media Journals ever. I have a ton. Really sturdy and great for gesso and acrylics.

Really like this journal. Really good if you dont use too much water in your painting. Handy size and really nice price.

As described, this is a heavy weight, wet media friendly, paper in a spiral notebook. The front and back covers are super stiff also - so your paintings will flatten out when you close the covers. I use the 9 x 12 size all of the time - for a quick watercolor sketch at lunch or when I have more time later. Pens and paint do not bleed through. The surface is somewhat rough so also works well with charcoal. Paper is stiff enough for other types of paints as well. I have tried many brands and papers and this is my favorite for carrying with me all of the time - it is not too expensive so you can use it for practice or if you happen to have an inspired moment - you could frame your work on this paper. Comes in several sizes for whatever you are working on.

Really holds the watercolor well. I highly recommend this for toddlers and older kids who are interested in pairing. Tip: Joann’s has this on sale sometimes for about $5. But this is a great buy too.

Its a great small sized journal/sketchbook for watercolours. The front cover is dark brown with a bit of a sheen to it and the cover you see in the picture with all the text is just a piece of paper that can be ripped off.

This has a tough strong cover and the paper quality is great. I use this mostly to practice my water color drills and drafts before I go toa higher cotton paper. If you dont have a better paper but have this sketch book you will still love it. The price, paper and strength are a great deal.

Nice weight, holds water with little buckling.
