Pro-Art Strathmore Mixed Media Softcover Journal 5.5 x 8-inch, 32 Sheets, Paper, White, 5.5x8.5

Good product.

Excellent quality journal. The paper is a dream to work on

I'm not usually one to complain about a scratch on the cover but this... sucks. The front cover is dirty, gross, bent and scratched all over, the back is not any better and there are weird oil (?) stains/ marks all over it too? Was upsetting to find that some of the inside pages are also scratched up or stained which is a shame. The book itself smells like old oil paints and disappointment. Considering the price this is pretty pathetic of the seller to have sent out. Instead of a shining brand new sketchbook, I got something that belongs on the '£5 or less' clearance shelf in Tkmaxx. Nothing against Strathmore - their paper is great quality and I've been using it for years, maybe just buy from another source where products are controlled for quality and aesthetics are taken seriously.

I was looking forward to this so much, but it came torn. Alongside that, it’s extremely stiff

La calidad de papel es buena, solo me decepcionó que era portada suave (fue mi error en no prestar atención en pedirla). Pienso que por el costo que yo pagué era muy caro de ser tamaño pequeño y con la portada blanda. Este tipo de portada no es comodo usar ya que o se abre bien. Sin embargo papel es bueno. Lo use para acuarela y la resistio muy bien

This journal fits right in my bag hassle free, so I have it with me all the time ready to sketch. The page is not too small, so I enjoy the space I have for anecdotes and drawings.

روعه يناسب نعظم الخامات

This mixed media sketchbook is great for painting with acrylic paint, it doesn’t leak through the paper!

Love the 100% cotton paper, works great for ink and watercolour sketches. Pages are thick enough for me to paint on both sides of the paper. Paper is less 'toothy' than cold press watercolour paper so it's easy to draw on with ink. Coloured pencils also work well in it.
