Questions & Answers
This paper is great for Copics. The ink will bleed through to the other side and possibly underlying sheets if you saturate the paper completely with ink, but the paper will not buckle.
No, the one with the black cover has fewer sheets and a much heavier weight (138 lb), making it ideal for watercolor.
It has a texture to it, but it is smooth to the touch.
Can you tell me more about the Canson XL mixed media pad? I believe they are nearly identical, though I believe these pages are slightly thinner. This size is also not available in the xl pads.

It could be the manner in which she employs it. It does not, however, proceed to the next page. br>Would buy again and recommend to others. Has this review been of any assistance to you? Please press the yes button.
This is the sketchbook and paper that I use the most - In the last year, I'm sure I've bought at least 5 of these. A sketchbook, in my opinion, should have a spiral binding so you can draw without having to worry about other pages, as well as a sturdy backing so you can draw even when you are not at a desk. Both of these requirements are met by this sketchbook. The pages of this sketchbook are also perforated, which is a nice feature. br>br>For the price, you get a lot of paper, which is ideal for brainstorming. I mostly use pencil for my sketches, but I've also used the paper for light watercolor washes, and the paper holds up well with no buckling or water bleeding through to other pages like some of my other sketchbooks. I've used gouache, ink, and even pilot parallel ink to practice calligraphy on it. Despite the fact that ink can be seen on the back of the page, I was pleased to find that the ink had almost no feathering. Of course, I wouldn't use it for your next masterpiece if I were you - After all, it is a sketchbook, so it's ideal for rough sketches and tests.
This is the notebook that I use most often. I usually purchase the larger notebooks, but I wanted to give the smaller one a try. I use it to paint with gouache, watercolor, and some chalk markers. br>br>I used to use a Canon XL, but the quality of this one is much better. This paper is not prone to buckling and is excellent at holding water. This paper allows me to paint on both the front and back.
I'm a self-taught artist who enjoys working with mixed media on a sketchpad. I work with watercolor, ink, pencils, and pastels, so having a pad that can accommodate all of these mediums is very useful. I tried out the Cachet mixed media pad and really liked it, but now I've discovered the Canson pad and it's even better. Watercolor works beautifully on the rough side of the Canson paper, which has a smooth side and a textured side. I love this pad and will buy it again.
This is without a doubt my all-time favorite notebook. It holds up to my watercolors, but the paper isn't textured like watercolor paper, so the finished product is smooth.
This is the first time I've used a Canson product. I like the tooth on paper, but the back side is smoother if you prefer it. I didn't use any watercolors or acrylic markers; instead, I used graphite and aquaculture pencils as well as watercolorless color pencils. So far, I'm very impressed, and I'm looking forward to trying more products. In these difficult times, I would recommend a product that is reasonably priced and of good quality.
Be careful, though, because many of my pencil sketches have smeared a lot on the previous page, as well as on the piece of art I'm working on. It keeps its shape in my book bag throughout the school day and travels beautifully, with no folds or dents in the metal rings! I would recommend this to any artist looking for a smaller book to carry around with them, whether at school or on the go!.
That, combined with the glowing reviews for its performance with watercolor, made me regret my decision. br>First and foremost, I should have noticed that the product information under material in the description simply stated "paper. " " There was no mention of the paper's composition anywhere. I must have deduced that the fact that it was acidic had something to do with it. It was sufficient to have it for free. I might be new to watercolors, but I now that anything other than 100% cotton can make A HUGE difference, which clearly is not the case here. I used a palette of paints as well as paints from tubes to test the paper. Both had the same issues: they dried WAY too quickly, making proper layering and blending nearly impossible. That's not to mention the fact that, even after re-inventing the wheel, The papers fibers began rubbing off after only a second or third layer of wetting to try and blend. Second, as you can see in this photo, the paint did not spread or dry evenly. I can't say I blame the paints because they look great on my other paper. br>I despise wasting money, but at least now I know not to buy mixed media paper just to save a few dollars.
