CansonXL Series Mix Paper Pad, Heavyweight, Fine Texture, Heavy Sizing for Wet and Dry Media, Side Wire Bound, 98 Pound, 14 x 17 in, 60 Sheets, 0, 14_x_17_cm

It arrived earlier than expected and is the perfect size for my art journalling. The binding is sturdy and both front and back covers are made from chipboard which increases the stability of the book. It has 60 sheets of 5.5" × 8.5" 98lb mix media cardstock and is suitable for use with watercolours, acrylic paints, pens, pencils and markers. The cardstock is acid free too which is good. The cardstock is white but not bright white, it is more muted and has a microperforated edge near the binding making it easier to remove pages if you need to.I am very happy with it and can't wait to use it.

The paper is nice and it works well for sketching and watercolour, i havent tried acrylic on it yet but im sure it would be fine. The paper does bend a little when you apply water based products but not too much so its not too bad. You can tear out the paper which is nice but i havent done that because I prefer to keep all my work in one place. Overall its a nice sketchbook and its easy to take with you in a bag.

Good thickness and holds most things apart from markers

Good sketchbook
