Canson XL Series Mix Paper Pad, Heavyweight, Fine Texture, Heavy Sizing for Wet or Dry Media, Side Wire Bound, 98 Pound, 5.5 x 8.5 in, 60 Sheets, 5.5X8.5

I use this sketch book for pencil sketches. I like its thickness.

I love this paper for painting with acrylic. Nice and smooth, durable.

Love this paper really good it’s my go to paper

Daughter wanted 11*14 size of mix media which we ordered 3 years back. By mistake i ordered smaller size and getting refund without returning it. I will pass on them to needy one who cannot afford

Really love the quality for the price, will keep ordering again When taking it along, i wrap a string around the sketchbook to keep pages from rubbing against each other and smudging inside of a jostling bag

I like using it to keep a painting journal.

Im just a less than beginner artist....you know nothing, Jon Snow. Im taking an art class taught in Spanish, teaches me art and teaches me Spanish....this sketch book will look like a 3 year old drew in it but its fun anyway.

The 9x12 sketch pad came in a box with all my other stuff and was in pretty excellent condition save a minor dent which did not harm the paper. Good thickness for using different media. Its above okay for watercolor. I have the 5.5x8.5 in the picture showing warpage so you can imagine how bad the 9x12 would warp. I didnt use much water, in fact I took great effort to use as little as I could. If you are going to watercolor on a 9x12 I suggest switching to the 140lb 300g for less wrinkles. Although, youll get twice as many sheets with mix media vs watercolor. I think there are ways to straighten out the wrinkles. Either way I reccomend the product itself, if it comes damaged return it and get it from an actual store.

Ive used this paper for a number of projects and it has never failed me. I can highly suggest using it for acrylic and sketching as it holds up well and can actually go from book to frame no problem.

Canson books are my favorite for sketching and professional work I use it daily its my go-to book overall.
