It is brilliant for pencil coloring. But while using alcohol markers it ends up like this. Unequally spread on the sheet. It is absolutely bleed proof. I appreciate that.

It's a very pretty and quality product😃 BUT🥺... not suitable for acrylic colour as it as a smooth texture, the paper doesn't hold the colour.(I have given a reference photo to understand better). You get brush strokes and have to apply 2-3layers of colours to make it plain..They haven't mentioned Acrylic in the description so anyone looking for acrylic painting please go for a texture paper ones and not these!! Other wise its really good for sketching and other mediums!! ❤️ It's cute , lays flat and have an elastic band. Loved it!!

too small

Pros1. Good quality paper - clear white, thick 200GSM quality2. Nice build and stitchingCons1. Easy to get misled - not meant for acrylics or gouache or watercolour. the paint gets lifted very easily with each brushstroke - leading to a very streaky art work. Don't get mislead by 200GSM - this paper is best suited for dry mediums (pen, brush pen, micron, oil pastels)2. Does not lay open flatPersonal thoughtsIts not a bad sketchbook but being a gouache artist, disappointed that my money is wasted. I was blown over by the price point for a set of 3 square sketchbooks of 200 GSM - too good to be true! The cons i listed above make this product unusable for me. I wish i could get my money back!

Ink or colour is soaked up immediately.... And a marks is left....Paper is thick.... White .... (Unlike acid free paper which is always off white)Paint does not bleed from the other side.Useful only for pen ink and pencil works..... Not at all suitable for water colour or gouache.Thank you

It's best for the acrylic paints. Papers are thick and an best product an artist can ever bought.
