Strathmore 566-8 500 Series Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 8.5x11 32 Sheets

Very nice hard-bound sketchbook. Packaged well, quick delivery.

I do a lot of full pieces in ink, marker, highlighter, etc. And this sketchbook is great for that. Just be mindful, it does bleed. Through the back of the page. If youre worried about it bleeding onto the page under it I havent encountered that just yet, but I suggest using an extra buffer between them if youre using a ton of ink. Other than that. I love this book.

Great sketch book

This came recommended by my instructor, I love toned paper! This is sturdy holds up nicely and has a beautiful feel. I used watercolor medium to light wash and it stood up well. Pastels also work like a dream for accents too. I’d buy it again

This is not watercolour paper. Water does not sink in at all and paint leaves weird smudges.

This mixed media paper is top tier! You can do anything with this sketchbook. It takes wet media VERY well and is still really great for pencil and other dry media. Nice ‘tooth’ to the paper and is archival quality

Cost more than expected but good quality.

Real nice quality hardcover I expected from Strathmore.

Excellent for gouache!!! I loved the thickness of the paper and the size. High quality! Will definitely repurchase.

You can never go wrong with Strathmore. If you do mixed media, this is the journal you want.
