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

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.

I actually gave this book to my daughter as a place to doodle and put her sticker but can say that it is a well constructed book and has good paper in it. Price was more than reasonable for this book.

I use these books to write in. They cost close to $20 on the street, so this is a great deal. The new covers feel very nice, a bit rubbery . . . may hold up better over the centuries. Some similar books have more pages. They also cost more money. You can do the math. For me, this book is just write.

Perfect journal size and extremely durable for drawing and painting in. Love the paper weight and finish. Perfect for ink, pencil, markers and watercolor.

I love the size and quality of this sketch book. I use it as a little lap desk too! I used up the first one, so I went into my history and bought another one. Very satisfied.

Für alle Nass-Techniken ist das Papier in Ordnung. Die Blätter wölben sich nur gering. Für Stifttechniken gibt es Besseres.

High quality paper, thick and truly suitable for all manner of media including watercolor, tempera and other sloppy stuff.

I do a lot of full pieces in ink, marker, highlighter, etc. And this sketchbook is great for that. Just be mindful, it does bleed. Through the back of the page. If youre worried about it bleeding onto the page under it I havent encountered that just yet, but I suggest using an extra buffer between them if youre using a ton of ink. Other than that. I love this book.

Great for the art classes that I take with water color, gesso, acrylics etc.

Great for wet mediums.
