Strathmore 566-5 500 Series Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 5.5 x 8.5, White, 32 Count

Great for mixed media

Perfect size and weight of paper. I do wish it was perforated. I am able to tote it about and draw whenever I wish.

My watercolour sketchbook/ colour reference book

As with all Strathmore products, the quality is topline. I use it in my art classes. Very hard to damage. I has fallen a couple of times but the corners remain undamaged. Great value, I will buy again.

This sketchbook is not good at all the paper it to ruff and does not hold barely any media

The item arrived promptly and in precisely the condition I expected. The paper is great for sketching with pencil or pen, and the hardback cover is nice and durable.

Im using this to make an essential oil reference book. Im just getting started but my watercolor markers blend beautifully on the thick paper.

Bought this thinking it would be good for my alcohol markers (Copic, Promarkers) but unfortunately it bleeds thru very heavily. The paper itself has a heavier tooth and is not ideal for my application with ballpoint. I will be going back to Crescent RENDR sketchbooks.

Its worth it. On the label it says they are 100% cotton pages (I think) and they are bound very well. Unlike a lot of other non-ring sketchbooks I had in the past, this one was easy to open. The cover is so cool too! Its like leather but obviously synthetic. It is a hard cover. I have the Canson watercolor paper with the same lb and weight but this one buckles a lot less and absorbs the paint much better. Its also got a really nice smooth texture. 10/10 would recommend!

absolutely amazing heavy paper sketchbook... one of the very view available in tan colour (maybe the only one)
