Sketchbook, Pastel Violet, 80 Sheets, 4.7 x 4.7 in

I love these sketchbooks. They work pretty well for mixed media. Can’t use too much water, but I’ve used intense and a little water and also some dry brush watercolor.Overall, great affordable and I like the paper quality.

Great sketchbook. It doesn't matter if you use pencil, fountain pen or marker this sketchbook takes it all. It even can take light watercolor. Highly durable with nice and thick paper. Very portable. Highly recommended for travel. The binding can take some abuse and still survive. Great for practice, or art on the go!

I love these sketchbooks!

This is by far the best sketchbook/art journal I’ve ever used. The paper holds up very well. I can layer on acrylic paint markers, and ghosting only happens if I over apply the paint. The size is perfect for traveling. Doesn’t work too well with colored pencils, but that’s expected since the paper is smooth. You can use watercolor paint, but the pages may curl. Alcohol markers will bleed. Overall, I’ve been able to use this for most mediums, if careful with the application. I’ve taped some pages together for wetter mediums. It’s held up well over the past year!

I like the feel of the cover. Paper is nice.

I have been seeing this brand come across many youtube videos and finally decided to try 1 myself. For just under $10 this has been a great sketchbook. It has a good paper thickness with some tooth (not smooth like Illo/Articka). The paper does get warped with watercolor, but I don't use this for final pieces so I don't mind that. It takes pretty much every medium well. My ONLY dislike, and it's personal, is that the pages are more yellow than I like (i prefer pure white). It also doesn't have a back pocket, but I can make and stick my own so that's not a deal breaker.

Love this sketchbook! The paper is perfect for any medium. For watercolor , as long as its not heavy water use it should be fine. I love the size and the lilac color is pretty. Will buy again!

Pretty sketchbook, pretty okay paper, wont stand up to being utterly drenched but can take a little water if you're not super annoyed by the pages having a teenie tiny bit of warping. You could also sketch in it when out and about and tape the page down temporarily for painting if you were so inclined. 3 sides is enough to keep it from warping too much and you can tape the 4th just to have that nice little framing effect that taping gives it

These are my favourite sketchbooks. Hold a surprising amount of different mediums including gouache and watercolour despite having quite thin pages. Not suitable for ‘proper’ watercolour as no sizing etc but will happily take watercolour as part of mixed media spreads etc. Also fine with acrylic ink, acrylics, pencil crayons, brush pens, neocolors etc - some might cause cockling of the the pages which reduces when pressed shut but the pages rarely bleed through (alcohol markers will bleed). Repeat going over with something like a brush pen will pill the pages but they’re surprisingly resilient. Nice smooth pages with a cream tone. Exceptional value for money which makes them low pressure to use unlike more expensive sketchbooks which can feel too precious to get started in. This size is a good little compact size with loads of pages.

I have been using Talens Art Creation books for years and they never disappoint me. You can use every typ of medium on it and the papper is nice and smooth. The color is so pretty in person and the size is smaller then I normaly work in but it's fun to change sizes sometimes. Highly recommend this sketchbook!

J'adore le format carré de ce carnet, il est également plus facile à transporter avec soi de par son petit format.

Dit boekje gekocht vanwege het vierkante formaat.Het papier is mooi van kwaliteit, alleen naar mijn smaak te geel.Ik wil het papier liever wat witter, vooral als ik met kleurpotloden werk.Als je de gelige kleur van het papier geen probleem vindt is dit voor de prijs een goede aankoop.

After hearing a lot of Reviews for these sketchbooks I bought one, and later bought 5 more haha. They’re super nice if you like experimenting with different media, they can handle watercolour pretty well despite the creamy colours of the paper(which I feel is easy on the eyes and you can see white pens well), other media as well like line art pens, acrylic paint pens, paint etc. I havent tested alcohol markers yet but I feel like it would bleed a tiny bit but no issue, you can just cover it with an another illustration on the back with acrylic markers. The pages are creamy in colour and smooth, they aren’t thin but not thick either but no matter, they handle media well. The cover Is harder and flexible, the pages are well sown together so they shouldn’t fall out easily. They open flat so you can easily draw a double page spread. I love how there are so many sizes, big ones and tiny ones you can put in your pocket for travel :). Overall it’s a nice budget friendly sketchbook that is good for artists who want to try something new, I overall recommend.
