Review on πŸ““ Bee Paper Company BEE-20005 Creative Marker Sketchbook, 8-1/2" x 11 by Wendy Barents

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic high quality paper

I bought a Bee Paper watercolor book to use for my Inktober drawings along with the Derwent Inktense Travel Pan. The paper in this watercolor book is made from 100% cold-pressed cotton. Although I usually prefer hot pressed paper, especially when using ink, I was blown away by the quality of this album. I've used all types of inks in this album over the past two weeks including Kuretake Fude pens, Speedball calligraphy ink, Derwent Inktense blocks and pens, even Mozart Mixtio alcohol markers and watercolor brushes. This paper held up perfectly to whatever I put on it. The only time it bled on the paper was when I used a dark black alcohol based marker and admittedly you shouldn't even use an alcohol based marker even on cotton paper anyway (I was just in too much of a rush to get some ink and a brush, honestly.) So it was more my fault than anything paper related. I have every intention of buying more of these sketchbooks.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic
