7"x10" Mix Media Pad Art Sketchbook 62 Sheets for Painting Drawing

Smooth, bright, white 200 g/m, 120 lb paper. Has a very light tooth that is perfect for colored pencils, but still smooth enough for fine line ink and great for neocolors 2. Some light warping with watercolor and gouache paints, but stands up well. Perfect for acrylic markers. The sketchbook has a sturdy back board, so great for art on the go. The 8.5x5.5 is a great size, and I LOVE that it has so many (62) pages!

The quality of this book is wonderful. The paper is heavy enough to use with alcohol markers (which have a high tendency to bleed through) though I would recommend their market pad for that for the best value and quality. However when they say mixed media they mean it. The spiral binding allows you to easily work both sides of the page. The colors are vibrant and beautiful on the page and you can easily use this with a variety of mediums. Just be sure you know the medium. I don't use watercolor but I would assume it may be best to isolate the page for that as it would be wet. For colored pencil, pen, marker, acrylics, etc. though, it's an all around great sketchbook.

I love the multi-use paper in these pads. They have just enough “tooth” to make them suitable for pencil sketching but are sturdy enough for a variety of wet media. In addition, each pad comes with a vinyl sheet to prevent wet media from soaking through. I have uses alcohol based markers, watercolor brush pens, acrylic pens, and watercolor pens satisfactorily on this paper. I do not recommend this paper for pen and ink drawing but it does do well with ultra fine markers. I have several of these pads I use for a variety of purposes.

Really great for mixed media art

I would actually reach for this over most of my Canson pads for use with a lot of different pens and markers. If you plan on doing calligraphy or lettering, you're in for an uphill battle. It does have great bleed through resistance meaning you can actually use both sides of a page. But that texture makes calligraphy and lettering a pain. I like the versatility of the size, it's big enough to use for multiple types of work, from art journaling to neurographic art to cartooning or field sketching, this does have a lot of uses. I personally love the wire binding because it can actually lay flat. It's cover is clean and when the wrap is removed, it looks better on a shelf or coffee table than many other similar pads because it holds up to drops and being thrown in a bag many times. The biggest surprise has actually been that the wire binding and hard cover survived my cat deciding it was the enemy for taking my time and attention from her. If you want an art journal or general pad for most uses, this is a good choice.

I chose this pad because it had spiral binding & the most pages I could find at a reasonable price of just a little over $20. I'm a beginner at watercolor painting (youtube education in process, lol!) and wanted to create a bound journal of paintings over which I will hand letter some of my favorite Bible psalms. The photo shown was done with 100% student grade (cheap) watercolor paint. There is MINIMAL WARP on the paper when dry (and I am overly generous in my water application)! My only caution is having to work with the warp while painting. I had to press in the middle of a warp with the top of a brush to get the page to lay flat enough so the color didn't bleed off the warp. Not a big deal for me, but it might frustrate others. I didn't use a hair dryer on this painting, so I don't know if using one will dry the page flat or "push" the paint around. Overall, I am happy with the pad & recommend it for making a keepsake practice journal, but not necessarily for a professional grade finished artwork.

The paper is thick and doesn’t bleed through and it comes with a vinyl separator to put between pages in case you’re doing serious layering. Wonderful size for lap or desk but a thick book because the pages are so thick. Exactly what I needed for my acrylic markers, pencil and colored pencils doodles. Although since I’m not an artist I will buy something a little less serious artist type drawing pad. Really bought it for the bleed proof quality. The pad is top drawer.

Awesome paper. I use acrylic paint pens, gel pens, and alcohol markers and it works beautifully

Es un cuaderno de muy buena calidad, excelente producto

Nice paper quality

I'm VERY impressed! I have recently been itching to get back into art, and wanted a quality sketchbook that didn't break the bank. This was a very good choice! I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the paper, weight and thickness (all details outlined in the ad). But also the paper is slightly textured, which is nice for pencil and watercolor art, but it is not overly bumpy/grooved as some paper is. I like to use pens, so I appreciate this moderate texture. The sketchbook came with a plastic sheet to protect the next page as you are working on your art. I love this! It is soft and has friction, so it wouldn't easily slide out as you adjust the angle of the sketchbook while working. I haven't tested the perforation yet, but it looks well done, I don't anticipate tearing. This is an amazing sketchbook, and I highly recommend it! As someone who used to frequent art stores for supplies, trust me when I say that this sketchbook goes toe to toe with the best products in specialty stores, and for a more competitive price. I didn't expect to find this on Amazon, but I'm so glad I did! Please consider giving my review a helpful vote if you found it useful! Thank you!

De todos los cuadernos que se venden en la página, este me parece perfecto, grosor de las hojas bueno como para cualquier estilo de dibujo o pintura, muchas hojas, tiene un acetato, y las pastas resistentes.

Caderno ótimo. Vem com uma folha de proteção. Chegou bem rápido.
