Talens Art Creation T9314-132M 452175 Talens Art Creation Sketchbook, Drawing Notebook, 5.1 x 8.3 inches (13 x 21 cm), Pastel Violet

I use this for my artex markers and it holds up really well!! 😼

These Art Creations Sketchbooks are really nice, but it took me a minute to feel the love for them. The paper is an ivory color, which takes some getting used to, but it's not a hindrance to creating art. The finish is smooth, which makes it nice for dry media, especially graphite pencil, colored pencil, and wax pastels such as Neocolor. I love the elastic band that holds the book shut when tossed into my art bag.The big drawback, is the thin weight of the paper, making it tricky to use with wet media, such as watercolor. It won't take more than one layer of wetness without pilling or soaking through to the other side of the page. So, use caution with markers and lots of layers of watercolor. Putting a layer of gesso first may help with this, but I haven't tried this yet. Acrylic paint and acrylic markers work ok on this paper. I've purchased 5 of the 5×8" A5 size over the years. Now that I have learned their positive properties and limitations, I am fully in love with these art journal books.

Currently using for my daughter's autograph book and it's adorable. Thanks!

Many cover choices and the overall amount of pages makes for a very freeing artistic experience! Not afraid to experiment or 'mess up' this journal.Take wet media surprisingly well! Very satisfied with my experience.

Shipping took WEEKS. Otherwise great product!

It came in perfect condition and the color is so pretty!

This paper is perfect for multimedia. I also use with watercolor and it holds up fairly well
