Located in the South of France, the artisans continue their craft, relying on generations of knowledge enhanced with superior technology. The Canson Graduate range brings this legacy in an accessible form for students and beginner hobbyists. Featuring a wide range of paper for many techniques, Canson Graduate includes sketching, drawing, mixed media, illustration, lettering, Manga, watercolors, acrylic painting, oil painting paper and more! Each pad is available in the three sizes most popular in classroom and art studio practices β€” 5.5 x 8.5 inch, 9 x 12 inch and 11x14 inch. All paper is acid-free, meaning the surface will not become yellow or brittle over time, leading to premature aging and eventual deterioration of the paper. Artists prefer acid-free paper to ensure their artwork is preserved for generations. Canson Graduate is the perfect option for art teachers looking for cost-effective art paper, art students needing to stock up on supplies for the semester, and hobbyists exploring different art styles and hoping to launch their custom art store. Review: The only sketchbook I've ever finished! - I am OBSESSED with this particular brand of sketchbook! I am the type of person who typically does a few pages in a sketchbook, and gets upset when something doesn't look right, and then just starts again with a new one. This is immature, and gets expensive really quickly. I had this one in my stash of new ones, and I started using it, and for some reason I found that I was able to move past the imperfect drawings and keep going because the quality of the paper is so nice. First, let's talk about the size. I love this landscape format, it actually caused my brain to work a little harder to come up with interesting things to draw and make spreads from. It's compact enough that I was able to throw it into my bag and take it with me wherever I went, which helped me actually complete the whole thing. Plus, it's only 36 sheets (72 pages) so it didn't feel like it was lasting forever and gave me the dopamine hit of finally being able to finish a sketchbook. Next, paper thickness and quality. The paper is 200 gsm (for reference, standard watercolor paper is typically 300 gsm) so a bit thinner than regular watercolor paper, but the functionality is still really good as far as I am concerned. I used watercolor, water-soluble materials, oil pastels, soft pastels, graphite, ink, acrylic paint, and done collage in this thing and it holds up so well! That paper is somewhat textured, so it you are into a more smooth rendering, you may want to invest in some smoother paper (I hear the Manga version of these same Canson Graduate books is great). The buckling with this paper is minimal even though I do tend to through a BUNCH of materials at my pages. The only con that I can note is that the outside cover did start to wear from being opened and closed so much, but that's not a big deal to me. You can easily decorate the outside (i sued acrylic paint markers and varnish) and it still looks nice, but you can put stickers on. I love this sketchbook, I love that the paper is white and not cream and the rough bit of texture on it. I would highly recommend this for someone who likes more mixed media work, and I plan on buying them a lot more in the future. Great quality! Review: Best Sketchbook Ever! - Honestly this has to be one of the best Sketchbooks I have ever owned. First of all the weight/ strength of each pages are great they handle Ink, acrylic paint, watercolors, alcohol markers, pens, oil pastels, and sharpies! I've thrown my entire collection of art supplies all in one book has been the best way to break out of a recent art funk. The color of the toned paper has brought out a better appreciation for the lighter colored pencils I have been under appreciating on the white and cream papers I've used previously. It's such an amazing feeling to be able to enjoy art again with this sketchbook! The size isn't too big or too small, the amount of 64 pages for 11 bucks is very reasonable for such a well known brand, the covers are hardy and handled sicker blasting with multiple light Modpod coatings. It fits neatly in my bag I take everywhere and it's eye catching yet nothing too gawty with the cool grey tones. 10/10 I am for sure going to be buying these again! If you're thinking about it or not sure that the colored pages will hinder you just do yourself a favor and try. Try it and see how the colors and values just pop with the toned paper. Canson is one of the bigger brands that I wish I had tried sooner when I was starting out with painting and markers do to the paper being so durable. I'm so happy to say this notebook is the same in the ways of the paper not ripping or pilling with the binding staying very in tack too. You can't really go wrong with it the price mark is amazing too! I've spent a lot of money on different sketchbooks that promised to do what this one does and couldn't dream of competing with the durable paper and bindings. Just give this one a try first πŸ‘€ πŸ’› I'm pretty sure you won't regret it. ## Features - Explore Your Wild Side | You can't do much to damage these 200gsm sheets - create confidently with dry and wet media - Perfect for Students | Use for urban sketching, art journaling, comics, illustrations and concept art - Easily Remove Sheets | No need to worry about mistakes ripping out perforated pages thanks to the glue binding.
