Review: Big NO for Watercolor paintings. - I was really excited on receiving this Mix Media book for my watercolors. It even came well packed. BUT -- Pro's : the paper is of good quality. The paper is thin n smooth surface. Con's : It was a waste of my money as I bought it for making watercolour paintings. The paper is bumpy EVERYWHERE once it gets wet. It's like you're painting on a roller coaster. I'm not kidding nor am I exaggerating. It's truth. Maybe this is good for pencil sketches but NOWAY for watercolurs. I already finished two paintings n it looks awful. Even after sticking the borders of the paper with masking or painter's tape it still bumps. The 140 gsm paper i bought in a normal store near my home is thicker and better than this. I'm thinking of using it for sketching or something... Since it costed so much... I don't want to throw it... Better to buy paper that is speclly meant for watercolours, than this.
Review: Ti promette che puoi usare acquarelli,acrilici, gouache, penna e matite e mantiene la sua promessa alla grande! L'ho testato con lavori abbastanza impegnativi così da vederne quanto si può spingere e sono rimasta sorpresa, la qualità è strabiliante, l'aspetto del foglio non molto spesso ti inganna perchè quando ho usato gli acquarelli ha mantenuto benissimo l'acqua, non si è mai rovinato mentre dipingevo, insomma fantastico. L'ho comprerò di nuovo subito appena finisco questo che ho preso, ve lo consiglio!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with copic markers?  Do the colors bleed through?**
A: My daughter uses these notebooks with her Copic Markers. It did bleed through the piece of paper to the other side but it DID NOT get any marker on the next page!  This could depend on how heavy you use the markers but she colors and does some blending with her Copics and hasn't ruined a new page in her notebook yet. Hope this helps!

**Q: Will the pages tear out by accident easily when you turn the page? Is it sturdy enough?**
A: I use the 18x24 size and the pages never come out. It is actually a bit annoying to take pages out if you want to.

**Q: Is it white**
A: The cover is blue as shown, and the paper is white.

**Q: what's the size of the sheet as picture show 18x24in 30 sheets but description says 60 sheets?**
A: there are 30 sheets in the pad

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***3 on 18 March 2018*

I thought I wasn't too found of this paper since I remember buying a much larger pad of it and returning it, but I'm very happy to have this in a smaller size. This isn't as thick as the Strathmore series even though they say they are the same, this is obviously thinner. But it seems to be a decent mixed media paper, and at the right price! There is a very slight tooth to this paper, but is still relatively smooth. Enough to use colored pencil in mixed media, but you might want more tooth for larger projects that require more tooth. Watercolor goes down really well on these, not soaking into the paper, but spreading evenly. The paper does bend a bit with the water, but not too badly. Nothing a little weight on it couldn't mend out. Pen and ink go down great on these, again the smoothness carries the ink far. The thickness of this paper holds everything I've put on it including oil pastels, and watercolors. I'm very confident it would hold acrylics with ease. I think this is actually a really decent mixed media paper, it is the closest thing I have found to being able to hold that name.
