    You really cant go wrong with Strathmore. This watercolor book is amazing. The paper is super thick and handles a lot of water and reworking. Ive bought more in other sizes.

    Man kann fast alle Techniken verwenden - habe Aquarell, Fineliner, Kombi aus beidem, Bleistift, Buntstift und Acryl problemlos anwenden können. Zuviel Wasser geht allerdings nicht. Acryllasur und Nass-in-Nass bei Aquarell hat das Papier zu sehr aufgeweicht. Achtung bei Alkoholmarkern: Das geht leider nicht, bleedet durch. Leichte Körnung, sieht man bei Buntstift und Bleistift.

    The binding of this sketch book is stiff and makes it somewhat challenging to open all the way. Sharpie bleeds through pages which is a bummer because I bought the mixed media paper for the purpose of using inks and pens with it.

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

    No brainer to buy on line. This is exactly what I needed. Could not think of anything that could be different or improved so I gave it 5 stars.

    I really like the size and quality of the paper. I use it mainly for gouache painting. However, it doesn’t lay flat at all, which makes doing anything difficult without binder clips. I’ll try the softcover next to see it it will work better.

    The quality of the paper is amazing, it is thick and copes well with watercolor and gouache. The cover of the scrapbook as well is good quality so you can keep your art for a long time.

    Nice thick paper that doesnt allow soak through. However, it is not very absorbent if you use very wet media such as watercolor. The paper is super smooth, which is great for ink line work and sketching in charcoal. I found that Zendoodles in black ink with white highlights really look great on this paper.

    pages are lovely quality, thick enough to paint on (both sides), and i think a good size, too. just hard to keep open as the spine is a little fussy, you always have to have a hand on the other side keeping it open while youre working. i would switch to a ring bound one for the next sketch book.

The Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Hardbound Art Journal contains paper that is internally sized for wet media with a durable vellum finish for drawing techniques. Excellent for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, graphite, pen, ink, colored pencil, marker, pastel, and collage. This paper is 100% cotton, archival grade and is lignin and acid free. Hardbound Art Journals have a lightly-textured, matte cover in dark chocolate brown and feature a durable Smyth-sewn binding, allowing pages to lay flatter.
