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

Possibly the best sketchbook. The paper holds up to paint but is smooth enough for pencils. I already bought another one

Wonderful hardcover drawing, painting, sketching, anything you want book. Its just right to put in your purse. As a beginner to arts and crafts, drawing. Etc. This little book has very high quality paper and is thicker and more sturdy than the average sketch book. I will buy the larger one next time just to have more room. I highly reccomend this for everyone. I will journal, draw, paint,doodle in this very lovely book like pad.

Nice

I keep a journal. For years I have used sketch books for the purpose. The old one was full and this book presented itself at a very low price and on paper had all the right specifications. On arrival I was delighted to find that the book was bound in an elegant leather-like material which feels satisfying to the touch. Let us hope the content does it justice.

This sketchbook is not good at all the paper it to ruff and does not hold barely any media

El papel tiene un grosor de 300gr y funciona bien con: acuarela, gouache, acrilico, ... bolígrafos para acuarela: micron, uni-ball signo -no ensucian al otro lado de la página. Muy contenta por la cantidad.

The gigantenormous one to get. Notes plus drawings, some pastels, the pages are archival, thick. And it smells great. Excellent bindings, they last a lifetime. I found one from storage more than 20 years old, binding still perfect, zero ripped pages, and no bleed through of ink. When I close the big Strathmore, I whisper THANK YOU, TREES!

Great product

J’adore le format ! Je l’utilise pour la gouache et c’est un très bon papier. Je préfère le HP mais c’est plutôt rare. Il buckle un peu, mais ça ne me dérange pas … Ce qui me dérange c’est qu’il be reste pas à plat. Si vous faites du plein air ça va pas … c’est un critère très important pour ce genre de sketchbook …

Daughter is a budding artist, very young but she did her homework on this pad and she said it’s GREAT and she wishes I invested in this for her sooner. Her art pens, liners etc, work beautifully on this pad with no bleeding and her tools work smoothly on the paper, will be having to purchase another one very soon.
