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

Great quality water color papers! Great for art work and sketching

Thinner than I thought to be honest and it looks like theres all kinds of white smudges on the back cover of the one I received that wont come off. Never buying again.

I actually gave this book to my daughter as a place to doodle and put her sticker but can say that it is a well constructed book and has good paper in it. Price was more than reasonable for this book.

just as described

It is really good for sketching! But the paper is not that thick. It feels thick tho. If you sketch in graphite or any type of pencils, it is really good! I actually tried writing it with my micron pens to see if it will work with pens but you can see the pen from the back. So its jusr really meant for sketching. Anyways, it is still a good sketch book tho.

She loved it! it was a perfect to go size for a sketchbook. Great combination with conte, charcoal or pastels.

The gigantenormous one to get. Notes plus drawings, some pastels, the pages are archival, thick. And it smells great. Excellent bindings, they last a lifetime. I found one from storage more than 20 years old, binding still perfect, zero ripped pages, and no bleed through of ink. When I close the big Strathmore, I whisper THANK YOU, TREES!

Perfect for a travel journal! The pages hardly warped when used and there are plenty of pages and space. The hard back keeps everything protected.

This is a perfect watercolor journal I love it! I wanted a small but not big either so I can carry it out in my trips. It’s very convenient and the paper is thick and takes a good amount of water or washes. I love that it is hardcover for more protection on the paper and most of all your artwork!

This is not watercolour paper. Water does not sink in at all and paint leaves weird smudges. I like the general look, it’s nicely done and I was really excited about that sketchbook, however can’t work on it, paper quality is too low.
