Review on 📔 Crescent Creative Products RENDR Sketchbook - 8x8 Black Wire-Bound for Artists by Jennifer Roberts

Updated previous review: Had to return this as the finish on the cover is very easy to ruin. In fact, it's almost impossible not to screw up. I think it got on it with some kind of glue, although now it looks like it got there by mistake, who knows? tried to clean it with stronger and stronger solvents and finally it started to dissolve. What's the point of looking good if you can't even handle hand oil? Yes, great paper, but if you're picky about your aesthetic, don't fall in love with the cover. I wanted to take something smaller and the 5.5 x 8.5 sheet is not wired and no one else seems to be selling this type of paper which is said to be probably the best for preventing bleed through. I've calculated the cost per square inch for this option versus other options and it's pretty consistent. DO NOT take this just for painting though as you will likely get a wider range of offerings from different vendors/companies if you don't need ink proof paper. But if you do, that's it.
