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

I mean, its does wonders with graphite and artist pens, markers are a different story. I use alcohol based, after two or three layers, it BLEEDS onto the next page. Its okay with water based as long its not too much. I used India ink and acrylic and it can hold and blend. Water colors will not blend properly.

I love this paper! I love this size too.Its thick paper and nice for making an art journal.I use many medias.good for watercolors.pens.pencils.

me parece un genial sketchbook si te gustan o manejas varias técnicas a la vez, el producto recomendado al 100% pero si debo comentar algo que no me gustó, cuando recibí el paquete, el libro de dibujo, venia sin nada, ningún plástico o algo para que todo este fijo en su lugar, algo que a mi personalmente me sorprendió, ya que he comprado sketchbook de la misma marca en tiendas de arte, y en estas si incluía un plástico de protección.

These sketchbooks are amazing you can do all sorts of mediums on them ranging from water color to pastels to charcoal to basically anything your heart desires these became my new favorite sketchbook years ago and these will be the only sketchbooks I ever purchase their sturdy, reliable and have a nice texture and their just so good highly reccomend.

Great paper.

Everything was okay except on a couple pages there were black smudges I can make it work by turning them into drawings but still a little disappointed

Im really enjoying this paper! I use it mostly for watercolors. Its weight prevents bleeding through to the backside, which is fantastic. Its durable and withstands multiple layers/applications of paint and water. It doesnt absorb the water immediately, which is great, since I really love that drippy, splattery look. The water does make the paper bend and curl, but Ive found using a steam iron with the paper in between a bed sheet makes most of the wrinkles, at least the prominent ones, disappear. Will definitely keep buying!

This is my favorite sketch pad. Nice size, and the paper is good. Takes watercolor pencils nicely.

I like this pad, but the pages tend to curl unless you leave it in the pad over night to dry! I recommend this pad for beginner watercolorists, but definitely not for people who like their pictures to be more professional.

Paper quality is pretty good. However, just want to let you all know that the paper is not smooth, it is a bit rough and textured, not like bristol board. Im giving it a 4 star because the paper has tearable sides, and it sucks. Like, the paper is wanting to fall out of the notebook and thats not chill. However, if u like having tearable paper thats cool, and youll props like this product.
