Incredible paper - sketchbooks and notebooks

Although I had some warping, this is a very good strong paper that is easy to straighten. Amazingly smooth texture, goes well with oil paints and watercolors. I love this sketchbook so much!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Sad device

Ideal for wet and dry materials.

This is one of the sketchbooks featured by Cesar Santos on his art channel. It's well made and the paper is heavy enough to use wet or dry media. You can even plaster sides for oil painting.

Pros
  • WASHABLE AND DURABLE: Suitable for repeatedly clearing dry materials and lifting wet materials.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

I usually love Stillman & Birn Sketchbooks

I usually love Stillman & Birn sketchbooks, but this particular album didn't work ALMOST as well with aquatic environments as the beta paperback. Strange. Order their paperback albums instead, they are much more powerful.

Pros
  • DURABILITY: Thick card stock, high-quality US staple binding, and heavy-duty art paper make the sketchbook perfect for serious use.
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions

Best Picture Books

Stillman albums are the best I've found in my price range. I use the Beta (cold pressed) and Zeta (HP) series, very heavyweight watercolor papers. Superb and durable binding plus beautiful white paper. This is the best option if you are not willing to spend a lot of money on 100% cotton sketchbooks.

Pros
  • MADE FOR DIFFERENT MATERIALS: Double sized (animal free) for increased wet strength and vibrant colors.
Cons
  • Available in black only.
