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

Great sketch book

I absolutely recommend these journals! The paper is thick & takes everything I throw at it. Plus the cover is nice & works great for art journalling. Definitely prefer these to the mixed media ones if using a lot of collage.

These beautifully stitch-bound journals give an artist the feeling of using a fine art journal! It handles a good water soluble bath with little to no warping and is wonderful for pen and ink work!

All the 7th grade art classes were required to get this book and all of the local stores were sold out. I was able to order and get delivered in time for the start of school.

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.

I like it alot. It can hold alot of water and it wont buckle (although I do tape the edges). However someti.es it is as if the paper wont take the paint and the paint is just laying on top of it, I suspect that it requires to be wetted before any paint added to it at all.

Ce carnet de voyage est pratique par sa taille mais difficile à laisser ouvert. Mais il est très solide avec une couverture épaisse. Il est parfait pour les aquarelles, plus compliqué pour le crayon.

La calidad del papel es incríble, a pesar de que no es de un alto gramaje, la absorción del agua es muuuy buena, no se traspasan los colores, el papel con la humedad de las aguadas levemente se arruga pero es normal en papel con un gramaje menor a los 300, pero no impide que sigas trabajando. Lo recomiendo para practicar, sin duda es un MUST en tu colección de sketchbooks. Adquiriré otro por que es mi nuevo favorito.

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

I’ve always struggled with finding a sketchbook that i liked. I always just used whatever artist I liked a lot at the time used. But finally I gave in and tried one of my favorite artists’ (lilstarnerd on yt & ig) favorite sketchbook that she swears by and, no regrets! I’ve never wanted to draw more. I love the paper and I love everything about it. Only complaint is Copics bleeding but it never said that wouldn’t happen so I just used a piece of paper in between. It handles acrylic paint really well and i use those like gouache. If you’re debating this product I highly suggest watching Lilstarnerd’s video on this because it was what made me give in in the first place!! I haven’t experienced art block all year and it’s amazing and I hope maybe this sketchbook can do that for you too:)
