Strathmore 460-55 400 Series Visual Watercolor Journal, 140 LB Cold Press, 5.5x8, 22 Sheets , White

Love it! I just started art journaling and the size and weight of the paper is perfect for pen and markers.

Love the sturdy cover! Came so quickly, and in good condition.

This is the only thing that I use for my pen and ink drawings. I love that it doesnt bleed through and is still absorbent.

typical Strathmore quality

Extra smooth surface. Great for all mediums including water color.

I’ve been practicing watercolor for 2 years now and tried several sketchbooks and watercolor papers. This is by far the worst compared to those I’ve tried: Canson XL, Paul Rubens, Arches, and Ohuhu. It’s not suited for washes, layers, or even watercolor. It handled Gouache ok. I would not recommend for beginners because they would be very disappointed in their results and may give up their watercolor journey.

This paper is rougher than I expected, but not awful. it doesnt allow for great blending with markers, but takes water color and ink like woah. Ultimately its great for a very specific type of illustration I like to practice, but not for my favorite type (markers and colored pencils)

thank you - wonderful

Bought this item for my daughter. The pages are think and the spiral bound Is sturdy. I cant wait to see the wonderful art she will create with this book. I plan on giving this to her with watercolor paint.

great for sketches on the go
