Review on 📚 Strathmore 8.5x11 Hardbound Sketch Art Journal, 192 Pages by Amber Perez

I know they're officially dry stock, but I've used sketchbooks like this as journals for years, and I write with fountain pens, which are not particularly wet. In fact, I've seen myself use a few copies of this model over the past five years, but I think the quality of the paper has dropped a bit in this case. I'm amazed to see that the latest version of this book allows for significant bleed (incomplete but visible) when using a fountain pen. paper weight 60 pounds; I recommend something weighing 75 pounds; Such a book has been published by Art Alternatives (I also wrote in it the other day with zero head start with a fountain pen) and it's also a bit cheaper than this one.
