Strathmore 566-5 500 Series Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 5.5 x 8.5, White, 32 Count

My daughter fell in love.

Gostei da qualidade. O papel tem uma textura bastante uniforme. É 100% celulose mas de boa qualidade para aquarela. Serve bem. Por ser de uma marca assim achei meio caro, mas a capa tem uma qualidade superior a Hahnemule e Moleskine.

We love these as we use them as hand and foot print keep sake for the baby. a set of prints each month and can find them in one easy place

This is a great notebook and I use it quite often for painting with watercolour. It’s nice and sturdy with the hardcover front, and the paper is nice and thick. Only issue would probably be that after the pages are painted on, they bend a lot making the notebook not close nicely but other than that, it’s great! Would recommend

En relación al precio, es un buen producto para hacer bocetos rápidos. Si lo quieres para trabajos más definidos, al menos en el que me ha tocado a mi, hay muchas irregularidades en el papel. Imposible trabajar bien con el. De forma continua, el papel rechaza el pigmento, dejando manchas blancas no deseadas. Una pena porque el grosor del papel es perfecto.

The cold press “tooth” grain is on one side of the paper, and most of the paper was loaded and bound incorrectly so the grain is on the wrong side for most of the pages for my particular notebook. Kind of annoying, but it’s a good hardcover watercolor sketchbook.

The gigantenormous one to get. Notes plus drawings, some pastels, the pages are archival, thick. And it smells great. Excellent bindings, they last a lifetime. I found one from storage more than 20 years old, binding still perfect, zero ripped pages, and no bleed through of ink. When I close the big Strathmore, I whisper THANK YOU, TREES!

Love❤️

Paper pills A LOT when using any kind of paint. This is NOT good for mixed media use, but it takes pencil and colored pencil well. I wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking to use ink or paint.

The perfect sketchbook. Nicely bound, and the paper is thick.
