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

The sketchbook is alright, not the best quality. I liked canson’s mixed media better, it is more resistant. The pages in this one smell really bad and it can be uncomfortable to use it at times. Wouldn’t recommend for people using wet mediums

Graet product

Perfect size, perfect paper! In love.

The binding of the book itself is gorgeous, and I really enjoy the paper size and quality of the book. It works great with paints, inks, watercolouring, drawing... it truly is a mixed media journal.

love

Great quality paper. Binding is holding together even after all my use and abuse. This is a nice looking sketch book to carry with me anywhere.

I was looking for a sturdy sketchbook that would withstand acrylic paint and other media. This product works well with a variety of media as it should, and pages can be used double-sided without colour or paint seeping through. I tested some acrylic paint in several layers, and the paper holds its integrity well with minor rippling at the paper edges. Although, I have not tested this with watercolour yet, so I cant say for certain how well the paper holds its integrity for that case. The small number of pages of this sketchbook provides a nice way to document your work over short time periods. I would buy this product again.

Love the size and quality of the paper found in this sketchbook. Awesome. Worth every penny.

I was disappointed in the quality of the paper. It was a bit waxy and this impeded the desired flow of my watercolors.
