FabrianoStudio Fat Pad, 9 x 12, White

Arrived on time. Not the best pad I had in terms of the quality of the paper, compared to my Canson XL Mixed Media.I was expecting thicker sheets since it is 108lb paper but they are slightly thinner and they don't have much roughness or texture as my canson. But I tested and it went well. The drawing results were smooth. And with 150 sheets it will last for a while, which was what I was looking for. Oh! Forgot to say, the pad is well binded whis is good too.

Loved it

Am a huge fan and use of Fabriano papers, this one though, too light weight for me. Does make a fabulous drawing paper and will take light washes ok. Their Accedemia paper, the version that is in the Venezia sketchbook is amazing.

Although I bought this product from Dickblick, I am posting my review here as Dickblick site is preventing/blocking me from giving it a (bad) review by giving error msg! Unable to submit it.The mixed media fat pad I got is a bad purchase 😓...The quality has been downgraded so badly that it’s not usable for any water or wet media! IT COMPLETELY WARPS EVEN WITH SLIGHT BIT OF WATER!!!! How can you call it a mixed media paper??? This is just a thicker drawing pad good for pen and pencil, sketch markers. NOT good for inktense or neopastels with water brushes. Def NO GOOD for any liquid media that's waterbased.

Very thick sketchbook, just as described. The paper is good. Just the right amount of texture. Though, it arrived to me damaged. One corner of the plastic wrap was shred open and the cover and first few pages were damage. I didn’t return because I want to start drawing and not wait for another book, and this is not meant to be a high end sketchbook so it’s fine. Haven’t try wet medium on it but it should be okay base on the paper weight. Also wish this came as spiral bounded and not tape bound, but again. Not a big deal and I know what I was buying.
