Review on Stillman Birn Hardbound Sketchbook Heavyweight Painting, Drawing & Art Supplies by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

High quality album!

My first Stillman and Byrne sketchbook. It's beautiful and wearable. The paper is thick and takes watercolors well. However, I've found that if I stroke over it too often, the surface will build up, leaving little crumbs on the page. This is not cotton hook paper, so it's more suitable for a quick and easy drawing technique. That's why this is a sketchbook! ;) The binding is really strong. This is a fashion and high quality sketchbook. I'd say it's perfect for seasoned professional artists who aren't afraid of ruining a valuable page in such a great book and want to preserve their work for years to come.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few little things
