Canson XL Series Mix Paper Pad, Heavyweight, Fine Texture, Heavy Sizing for Wet or Dry Media, Side Wire Bound, 98 Pound, 5.5 x 8.5 in, 60 Sheets, 5.5X8.5

To much money for only 60 sheets. It’s mandatory to have one and they use 3 sheets per day. By the end of the year I’ll have bought several sketch books. $$$. The spirals are unwinding . The sheets are messed up because of the spirals.

Best pad ever ,you can layer over layer of acrylics and it never tears .I must have 8 layers of paint on one page and it holds up wonderfully,very versatile for any kind of medium.......Ive gessoed over works I dont like and was able to start a new sketch to paint with acrylic s and oil pastels.....buy this ....I get the 12x14

Great paper! I think I am going to really enjoy painting in it.

I love this paper it’s my go to for everything

Bought it for my kids art course. Looks nice!

My daughter says the paper is good for her alcohol markers, but the not-spiral binding does not make her happy. A plain spiral binding would be better. Her book gets beat up with use, and the wires separate so the pages fall out.

I can not even believe what I was sent for $7! The wire binder part of it is literally too small, therefore the entire notebook is unstable, flimsy, and it looks like the ring part they put in it is for a much smaller notebook, leaving 4 spots open- 3 at the top and 1 at the bottom! How does that go through the production process and end up being put in a customers package like this?!? Its like whomever packaged my stuff into one box just said, F it, who cares. Im very disappointed. I havent even used it yet, as I just received it, so I dont know the quality of the paper. It seems pretty good, though. However, getting mine in this condition isnt acceptable.

Love the grain of the paper and it’s versatility in taking different mediums. In the picture I am using using oil paint pens. It’s a great size for artists seeking to make their art slightly bigger and good to put in a frame! Voila instant Fine art for your home. Canson I would love to try more of your products and give them reviews!

A really nice mixed media notebook, could use a thicker cover but it’s nice.

My son loves to draw with markers, pencils, water colors and this works perfectly
