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

Perfect size and weight of paper. I do wish it was perforated. I am able to tote it about and draw whenever I wish.

Well constructed, nice smooth pages, great for taking places.

Best journal for wet media! Lays flat despite what others here claim!

Für alle Nass-Techniken ist das Papier in Ordnung. Die Blätter wölben sich nur gering. Für Stifttechniken gibt es Besseres.

The pages were way thicker and stiffer than I anticipated, they feel more like card stock than regular paper. So to lay the book flat, just fold the page down near the spine. It will sit wherever you fold it, as long as youre using the pages chronologically from beginning to end. There is texture to the pages, so a very smooth fountain pen nib (for example) will experience bumps and drag for sure. That said, the build quality looks great. Wish I had realized how thick these pages are before buying, but its still a good notebook for what its meant for. Sturdy, rubbery cover in dark brown with leather-like grain. Nothing flashy. Like the thickness, too... About 3/4 the thickness of my last notebook (a Canson sketchbook).

Ho acquistato il prodotto per dipingere con acquarello, ma la carta presenta aree in cui il colore non attacca ed emana odore di umidità come se fosse stato incartato dopo essere stato conservato in ambiente non consono. Non è carta cotone ma va bene, non era indicato che lo fosse.

This is a very nice notebook that I use for meetings and personal notes. Its great for sketching out logos or ideas and taking notes, yet looks professional when going to my weekly corporate meetings.

I made this my Inktober sketchbook and it was a great choice. It took the ink very well and didnt curl up as much as it could have.

This paper is nice and thick. Perfect for art journaling
