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

Seemed well-made and the paper looked sturdy, unfortunately it was just smaller than I thought I order and not quite what I was looking for.

I like the heavyweight stock and sturdy binding.

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

No brainer to buy on line. This is exactly what I needed. Could not think of anything that could be different or improved so I gave it 5 stars.

Im using it as a watercolor journal. Its okay. I could have just gotten an arches pad for the price and had better quality paper. Gouache is a better medium for it. The sketchbook itself isnt bad. It has a sturdy build. The paper could be better tho.

I broke down and had to buy this journal as the one I tried to use just wasnt getting it. This paper takes Tombows extremely well. Watercolors, and markers, ect. I had to buy another one because I was so satisfied with the first one. Would LOVE to see this in an even BIGGER SIZE if they have one. Sturdy. I will definitely be buying more of these.

as described, thanks.

Arrived with cover covered in MOULD STAINS, stinking of mould, which triggered my allergy, and with damaged sleeve.

Theres nothing I dont like about this sketch book. It came on time and it came in the best condition. The paper that is used is smooth and works beautifully for sketching. Only thing is mine is more of a very dark brown color than black for the cover. Its a great buy for anyone who loves sketching and drawing.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my more artistically inclined friend. She loves the texture and says theres minimal if any sharpie bleeding (shes a sharpie artist who also dabbles in watercolors) and says its her fanciest sketchbook to date. Overall a great gift for artists!
