Mixed Media Sketchbook 9" x 12" - Multimedia Sketchbook Hardcover, Spiral Bound, 60 Sheets 98lb/160gsm Mixed Media Paper, Watercolor Sketchbooks for Artist Supplies, Painting, Drawing & Art Supplies.

I really like this mixed media sketchbook! The paper is thick (98 lb/160 g/m²) and holds up well for both dry and wet mediums—pencil, markers, watercolor, and even light acrylics. The spiral binding makes it easy to flip pages and lay the book flat while working, and the hardcover provides a sturdy surface for sketching anywhere. The 9x12 size is great for detailed work without being too bulky. With 60 sheets, it feels like good value too. Definitely a solid choice for artists and students who want versatility in one pad.

I am a painter, but don’t like to draw. I’m too impatient. However, to keep in practice for art making, I need to draw, so- I make sure that I draw, every day. I’ve been working my way through “Cours de Dessin,” a collection of drawing lessons from the 1800s I found here on Amazon. I had heard about it in art school, but had forgotten about it until I came across it here. In lieu of attending a life drawing class, it’s proved to be great practice.I wanted a sketch pad that would hold up to a lot of erasing and to some wet media, as along with regular graphite I like to use water soluble graphite pencils, gouache, and India ink. After looking through a lot of sketchpad choices and reading reviews, I chose this one. By the way, if you love to draw with graphite pencils- check out Blackwing pencils. Amazon sells them. They are expensive, but they are totally worth it. I heard about them from a cartoonist friend who draws for six or seven hours a day and he uses nothing else.I apologize for sounding like a constant commercial, but I often approach drawing with a slight sense of dread, so having recently discovered items that actually make me look forward to drawing is still a bit hard for me to believe. In case someone else out there is going through this, I wanted to pass on my discoveries. Drawing, I have found, is invaluable to keep in touch with the parts of the brain that are engaged in art making. If I hadn’t found tools like this sketchpad, drawing would be nowhere near as pleasurable.The sketchpad has a surface that readily accepts the graphite (meaning it is not cue ball smooth) and the buttery Blackwing pencils just glide across it.The paper is a robust 98 pounds, so it definitely stands up to scrubby erasing and washes. The spiral binding gives me the option of choosing landscape or portrait orientation, and to not have to worry about the sketchbook flopping closed on me. You get a lot of pages for the price, the paper is acid free, the spiral binding is well made, and the cover is sturdy- like a hardcover library book. I will definitely be re-purchasing this sketchbook, and I recommend it.Happy drawing!

The paper is just the right texture, thickness and durability. Great for any sketches with pencil, pastels, or markers. I instantly fell in love with this ringed sketchbook - it's the perfect size to carry around as well. So happy with this purchase and can't wait to fill the pages with my art!

It was a gift. The person said it’s good for watercolor or any kind of paint, that it worked well, was easy to use and blend, the paper was good and haven’t had any bleed, so I think the durability is gonna be fine, as it’s also big, has many pages to use for a person that is just starting paint would be great.

These pages are nice and thick. I haven't tried oil yet but acrylic paint doesn't bleed through to the next page. Great for paint, markers, water color, charcoal and I'm sure other art.

I love the ability to have a mixed media sketch pad. The pages are nice and thick leaving no bleeding into the next page. 60 sheets was a perfect amount and it's held up quite well.

Nice paper for making art work. Different textures and planety of sheets to get you started. Great value, worth it!Happy coloring,drawing, watercoloring,sketching, doodling, or whatever you plan to create🥰!

Bought this sketchbook for my Fiancé and she loves it. She has been using Sharpies, Pencil, Gouache Paint and more. It has worked great for her and I will be buying her this brand going forward.
