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

Package came quickly, was boxed with care. The art journal is even more beautiful in person! The pictures do not do it justice!

One of the 2 sketchbooks I ordered was missing the cover sleeve. The cover of the book was creased and dirty.

Paper has decent tooth. Recommend only graphite on this paper. This is not suitable for ink sketch. Hard cover is durable and feels nice under the fingers, like semi-glossy paper, not plastic. 192 pages so if youre trying to do a daily sketch (365) youll want to do front and back. Nice size for popping into a bag on your way out the door. Easy to attach a loop for a pencil.

As described! I loved this journal. It worths what I paid. Its so soft and the quality of the pages is amazing, Im so satisfied with this purchase.

Unfortunately, I had to return this book as it wasnt sturdy enough to handle water and paint.

This brand is always a great quality!

High quality paper, thick and truly suitable for all manner of media including watercolor, tempera and other sloppy stuff.

I give this 100% Always know what you are buying and make sure it is what you want.

This journal was as expected from Strathmore. The paper is thick enough to allow me to use wet or dry but not too much wet. Some paint markers will bleed through.

This sketchbook is NOT 8.5 it is just short of 8. 75 and will not fit in the small Oberon journal cover. I ruined my leather cover trying to get this sketchbook into the sleeves. uuugh!
