Strathmore 566-8 500 Series Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 8.5x11 32 Sheets

Didnt check the quality yet. The sketchbook came in with stains that dont come off on the cover. A real disrespect for my money and trust.

I bought this book in hopes that it had good paper, and indeed this book has great paper for sketching, inking with indian ink and coloring with markers!

El cuaderno llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones. El papel es muy bonito, tiene un lado con un poco más de textura y otro un poco más liso, está perfecto para técnicas mixtas y acuarelas. Muy buena calidad, definitivamente vale la pena

I use these books to write in. They cost close to $20 on the street, so this is a great deal. The new covers feel very nice, a bit rubbery . . . may hold up better over the centuries.

Great larger size sheets. Quality is solid. The best part is the value for number of sheets when compared to other products.

I am very happy with this sketchbook. The paper quality is very good and it can take watercolor like a champ; even on both sides of the same sheet. I have yet tested it with alcohol markers, but would imagine some bleedig will occur. Overall very nice everyday sketchbook.

I absolutely love this journal! The feel and look of it is great and the paper is high quality. I use several different paints and inks and it doesnt bleed through the page at all. Great product at a great price!

Strathmore still offers professional grade papers, this sketchbook is no exception, 500 series heavyweight vellum cotton paper. A joy to draw on, takes India ink (and light ink washers) perfectly with no feathering or bleed through. Still the best.

El tamaño, el acabado, el papel, es una maravilla.

I work primarily in watercolor, journal avidly and regularly sketch out in the field - this is my favorite sketchbook. Its smooth and doesnt tear up my micron pens, so I can comfortably write to my hearts content. It holds up to multiple washes of watercolor and has yet to bleed or pill up on me at all...despite that its a thin weight, so its light enough to carry in my field bag, and it has plenty of pages so Im free to play around in it without each page feeling as precious as the typical 10-20 page watercolor juournals do.
