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 mainly for acrylic painting and drawing. The paper does get a little flimsy when being painted on but other than that I really recommend this product.

10/10 would recommend

I have two younger children and a teenage artist in the house and we use this paper for everything. The paper is 98lbs, which is a little on the heavy side for drawing and a little light for watercolor, but we use it very effectively for both. It also has a fair amount of tooth and is acid-free.

This is an incredible deal!! The quality is perfect, I still have trouble convincing ppl it was only $6! For awhile, the gift recipient was afraid to use it, b/c he thought it was too nice!

I use it to practice painting various subjects with acrylics watercolor and gouache. Its good to take out to coffee houses and have fun in the sun!

Bought for my 9 year old grandson who loves to draw. He has enjoyed this book.

good drawing book

1.) paper doesn’t bow 2.) paper doesn’t pill (clump up) 3.) perforation for removal but not too easy so as to rip out unexpectedly 4.) when folded in half it’s the size of a standard greeting card which comes in handy for me bc i like to make cards for people instead of buying them 5.) doesn’t bleed through, even with strong alcohol markers

Nice pad of paper. Lots of pages, ability to use both sides, no bleed through. Theres a little warping but after drying you can fix with gentle bending. Used with water color and some acrylics.

I personally love the Canson XL mixed media pads. I use them a lot when painting (acrylic) when i dont feel like using an actual canvas. I think they are decently priced and versatile for artists.
