Canson XL Series Drawing Paper, Black, Wirebound Pad, 11x14 inches, 40 Sheets (92lb/150g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Colored Pencil, Ink, Pastel, Marker

This is a review of the Canson Black Drawing Paper Sketchbook. So far I have tried two pads of the paper, about 80-90% of each pad. I have painted with watercolor (using local water from the tap), with sumi ink and with acrylic brushes. I have also used pencils, ballpoint pens, Micron pens, and even Sharpies. I believe that this is, by far, the best sketch paper/drawing paper available right now. I use it a lot. Pros: -Excellent surface, yet smooth enough to easilly pick up and move around. -Smooth and durable paper, excellent for broad lines. -No bleeding with most tools. -Bleeds between layers or when sliced with scissors. -Watercolor comes off with a bit of scrubbing, but is more easily removed when wiping it with a finger. -Drawing is bold and crisp, easy to read. -Can be cut into panels and sewn, even glued together. Cons: -Cant say I have any. Other: -Smells like real paper. Overall a great product. -Good for pencils, ballpoint pens, Micron, sumi, watercolor, acrylic. I have not tried this with markers, fine tipped pens, or Sharpies, yet, but I suspect that it works with their ink as well. -One can use tape on the surface without it leaving a residue or bleeding.

Fit all the needs of my artwork. Durable and good for a few different mediums. I am very pleased with it.

Great paper! Nice weight like white mixed media. Havent done much with it yet. Looking forward to more projects!

Great for the kids

At first they sent me one with messed up pages, looked like it got run over or something. Amazon was quick to send my a replacement, very happy about that. The quality of the paper is good and I love this product, its my go to for drawing/sketching. Its a great deal for what youre getting and cheaper than if you bought it from a craft store.

I love to sketch and these are a reliable and relatively inexpensive drawing notebook. <3

As expected. Great condition.

I got this for my third grader to use for his learning from home art class. Weve used crayons, markers, pencils, glue, and chalk; so far no bleed through. There is perforation at the spiral if we want to tear something out and hang it up.

Love this notepad! I am an architect and I am using this for my sketches of properties and it is perfect! The weight of the paper is perfect!

Got this for my teen who loves drawing but wanted to try pastels and black/white drawings. Great paper for sketches!
