Questions & Answers

Do I have to use water to make Do any of you have any experience with ?

I am B. Hello, B. Thank you, Samuel! On this paper, I used oil pastels that applied well and covered the pages effectively. The Super Deluxe paper is very similar to pastel paper in its texture and thickness. If you want a paper designed especially for pastels, we also have 98 lb pastel paper in a variety of colors in sheet packs.

What is the format of this book?

This is not a hardbound edition The front and back of the cover are made of heavy cardboard.

It does not look like a 6 x 6 picture, so is it a 6 x 6? Can you tell me if this paper is 90 lb?

Even though the picture shows a different size notebook, I ordered and received the 6 x 6 (even though it is shown in the photo). There is a 93 pound weight on it.

Does a Sharpie marker bleed through to the back of the ?

Quite a lot of the dye shows on the backside, but not completely. There are no other markers I use like this on my Bee Paper Super Deluxe sketch pad, because it's the only pen I use that may be seen on the other side. Unless you keep going over the same line, it does not flow through to the next page. Then, it may bleed a little.

A multi-media sketchbook that is the best
5/5

Their services have been in use since 1984. It's the most comprehensive multi-media sketchbook on the market. From 1984 to the present, I have used this product and it has always worked fine. It is a pathetic blotter by comparison with Canson mix media xl. Even though the strathmore's mixed media visual journal is excellent, it only has half the pages for the same price.
I have used charcoal pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor as well as all three of them. The watercolor use is somewhat limited in this sketchbook, as with any sketchbook. A multi layer glazing technique or excessive wet in wet can't be done If you plan on painting with watercolors in full, use arches watercolor paper. The Super Aquabee sketchbook, though, offers the chance to try out simple watercolour sketches. Sketchbooks are, after all, meant to be used for making sketches. My favorite thing I've found for using watercolor crayons or watercolor pencils is the Super Aquabee. This is a great.

The paper that we used was NOT watercolor paper, but a very sturdy drawing paper
4/5

You can use this for art journaling or perfect. My only reason for giving this sketchbook four of five stars is not because I don't love it, but because the drawing paper is lightweight and large. Several online reviews had made it seem that this book's paper was suitable for watercolor, but in fact, it isn't. White and bright, the pages are really sturdy, and the last page is always there. Water can be held in them for a long time. Despite the puddles of water on the first page, there was no seepage through the back of the paper, even though there was a bit of buckling and buckling. There is also a lot of paper in the book- The sheets are 60! Then you are a real hero. This paper causes my watercolor pigments to fade significantly, and I find that this is a real issue. It proved to be quite troublesome to paint on this particular paper when compared to regular, run-free rag paper when I used a variety of paints, from Holbein to Twinkling H2Os It consists of We sell watercolor paper made from mill My obsession with color is extreme, and I like the crisp and rich gradients of color that result from controlled washes, so to see the colors fade so much was a great disappointment to me. As far as I know, I haven't tried treating the paper with gum arabic before painting it- You might find that helpful. However, I was hoping this paper would be lightweight like a watercolor paper, but it is Though it can survive the water and the moisture, the color is lost. The pad is not the best for watercolor work, but it is perfect for art journaling (probably the best art journal I have found so far-
I like it because it's strong, it has tons of pages, it's the perfect size, and it's large. mediums – ink, markers, pastels, etc. I think when it comes to this journal you should use something mostly dry or something you'll cover in gesso.

The sketchbook I love most of all
5/5

In the first place, let me tell you that although I have a ridiculous number of sketchbooks of all brands, I like Strathmore on a daily basis. Having never purchased a Bee Paper sketchbook before, I'm really excited to add one to my collection. Since I'd heard good things about them, I decided to try them out for Inktober, and they absolutely live up to their reputation. It has an impressively thick cover made of hard cover, and it's made of acid free paper. There's plenty of paper here, two different textures, and it's very well made. A free-market economy It is an amazing bargain at its price. In both a tactile experience against the skin and that of gliding a pencil over it, the texture is sensuous. While these papers have a soft white tint, they are thick enough for light washes. They buckle slightly when pressed between heavy covers, but most of it straightens out once pressed between the The paper erases delicately over and over again without ripping or pilling, and accepts all types of pencils, but also color pencils, pens, and ink. Honestly, I am smitten with this paper and have already added a few more to my cart for future purchases. Strathmore is likely to have a rival for my affection if the rest of their products are just as impressive.

Easily one of the best purchases you can make
5/5

the kind of sketchbook that is hard to beat in terms of If you smudge the paper lightly, it will take light washes, inks, pencils, colors and crayons. These books serve as a means of documentation of my key notes and "learnings. " My favorite way to use these pages is to do are a fan of spiral bound books, then you'll like this. There is a book by Stillman and Birn that is comparable, but this one is equally compelling. They are the sketchbooks of choice of artist Ron Stocke. They have been my supplier for years and I plan on keeping it that way.

Those sketchbooks are so cool! They are amazing sketchbooks, I honestly cannot find anything bad to say about them
5/5

I have so far found them to be The way it is is excellent). In addition, the square format is much more appealing than any other type of format due to its nice, bright paper without being overly white, heavy, substantial spiral binding, and both cover materials that are thick and durable. Taking what I do (Zentangle-inspired art) as the basis for the 6x6 size seems to be the ideal. There isn't a single thing I would change.

This is well done, but it's not quite accurate
3/5

In addition to the gallery form, I use these for stamping the back of artwork then attaching it onto the computer. Despite the thick paper, the heavy stamp will not scratch through to the other side of the page. The book fits easily in a back pocket, and the back cover is quite sturdy, too. The fact that it contains 60 pages as opposed to 35 is also appealing to me. This is one of two brands that offer 24 hours. Having said that, my stamp is 42, and I expected to get two forms/stamped on each When they count the holes, they look at the distance between the holes As there is only a 4x6 punched portion, usable space is far less than this. It is generous of you to give me four. I estimated it to be a bit smaller than 4 inches when compared with my stamp. All the pages need cutting to my needs, so that means I'll have to spend more time and effort than simply cutting them out. It would be better if I bought a 5x7 or some other size to minimize my expenditure.
