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

This art journal is an excellent product...and good value! I bought 2 and I am happy !

They dont mention that its 34 pages.. Not 64

I love it and I’m excited to use it, but it came with some sort of grease finger marks on it which I’m really not happy with. It also came with a bunch of crumbs and stuff on the back like someone put it on a dirty kitchen table. I rate it two stars only because it wasn’t clean when I got it

I find this the perfect tone of tan for me. Not too dark, not too light for the way I draw. :)

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.

Real nice quality hardcover I expected from Strathmore. The paper is smooth and has great tooth when drawing on it with pencils. Will buy more later.

La carta è favolosa ma è un po scomodo perché non si apre perfettamente e dipingere sul lato sinistro risulta scomodo

Gorgeous paper for chalk pencils, light charcoal, pen and ink. Love doing value studies in this book.

Looks like a nice quality journal. A bit stiff to open pages, so will have to hold pages open with binder clips (as I saw done on a watercolor video using this product). Spiral binding would lay pages flatter. The main negative has to do with the sender: whoever packed it, along with the other item received, had sent one that was stepped on, leaving a dirty boot print and other marks on both sides of the cover. Should still serve my purpose to practice watercolors, so I will keep it.

I loved the paper and the quality! I made a mistake while ordering and was expecting it to be bigger and hard covered so I was a bit disappointed. I cant seem to find one like that. That aside I still dont like the cover much, it gives away to anything. I held it once and it still has my fingernail imprints in it. The binding doesnt really like to stay open sometimes.
