## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great option
*by A***C on July 4, 2025*

Love the size. It’s a journal. Paper quality is great. Works excellent with watercolors. Good price. The paper is not white white but I love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice watercolor journal
*by B***A on June 26, 2025*

I love this brand of watercolor paper. I bought this the first time and I loved it. It doesn’t bleed through the paper. No warping. I love how this is portable so you can travel with it. I like the hard cover. It is just a nice Strathmore watercolor journal would recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost immediately became my favorite sketchbook!
*by T***E on May 4, 2024*

I use this sketchbook (Hardbound Mixed Media Art Journal, 8.5" x 11", Toned Tan) mostly for gouache and watercolor studies, and am super impressed with the quality of the paper and binding. The paper is probably the heaviest I've used and holds gouache really well. I haven't had any problems with buckling or tearing, and only a minimum of pilling with a really wet wash, but that can be easily avoided. The paper is quite smooth and great for sketching. I've also used watercolor pencils with it, and again had great results. Will absolutely purchase again and maybe try other sizes as this one is a bit large for travel. 10/10 love this one!
