Overview
A wirebound Canson Artist Series mixed media pad, 5.5 by 8.5 inches with 30 sheets of 138lb / 224g French-made paper. Built with two textured surfaces for both wet and dry media in one travel-sized sketchbook.
The paper's dual texture, one side finer and one side more medium, is meant to let it handle graphite, ink and marker as comfortably as light watercolor or gouache washes.
- 30 sheets, 138lb / 224g paper
- Dual fine and medium texture surfaces
- Spiral bound, micro-perforated pages
- 5.5 x 8.5 inch travel size
Who it's for
Suits sketchers who mix pencil, ink and pen work with occasional watercolor washes in a compact, spiral-bound book they carry around. Anyone doing full-page, multi-layer watercolor painting needs a heavier dedicated watercolor block instead.
Pros and cons
- Handles ink, dip pen and light watercolor wash
- Spiral binding and perforated pages
