Review: Worth the hype - I purchased this quite a few months ago and wasn't sure what or how I was going to use it. I finally got to it and went right in with acrylics and it's held up so well to the abuse I gave it LOL I don't usually use art journals this large but I love it!! I like it more than Strathmore tbh. Pricey but so worth the go. Binding is well done. No bleeding with acrylics anyway. Texture of the paper is as this type of paper should be. Acrylics float on it like a dream. Highly recommend!!
Review: Great drawing book. - This drawing book was recommended to me by an artist & teacher. I like the size and the paper quality.

A: Natural white towards cream

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drawing book.

This drawing book was recommended to me by an artist & teacher. I like the size and the paper quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sketchbook
*by F***E on January 4, 2023*

This is a beautiful book full of high quality, thick Fabriano paper- lots of it. I love the cover design and the ribbon place marker. The paper is thick and can hold up to wet media. I tried watercolor and ink. The paper rippled a bit when wet, but flattened mostly out once dry. I only doodled- I didn’t do a more elaborate watercolor. My ink drawing pens worked great- no bleed through. I layered my marks a lot and nothing ghosted through. Some old felt markers did feather a bit around the mark, but did not bleed through the paper. Nothing else feathered like that, so maybe it was the quality of those markers. I think I could collage and beat up this paper no problem. I love this sketchbook. I think I paid about $15-16. There’s a lot of paper (especially if you use backs of pages too), it thick and good quality, the place marker ribbon is a nice touch, the cover is lovely and symbolic. I’m a professional artist, and overall I’m really happy with this purchase!
