Review on Strathmore 469 305 Hardbound Journal Sheets by Kristen Reid

I love this mixed media art magazine! I love that it has a hard back so it's not flimsy at all which is great for traveling or drawing on the go. The paper is very thick, which is great if you're using a lot of watercolor or something intense. For markers, it takes it very well. Very little bleeding. It's amazing for the price too! Also, it's 48 pages which makes me feel better when I've finished this book. Instead of your usual 200 pages that I never finish. The size is great too, not too big and not too small! The only downside is that the paper only comes in gray or cream. It is not possible to use only plain white paper. I wish there was an option to just use plain paper, but it's fun to experiment with the shades of gray I chose, it's different! The other problem is that the paper is so thick that the pages don't lay flat. They need to be the weight of the paper or something similar so the pages don't fall on you. Which is not an obstacle for me, besides, I will definitely buy this art magazine again!
