    4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Quality for the Price, just wish it was white paper!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2020
    Love this mix media art journal!! Love that it’s a hard back so it’s not flimsy at all which makes is great for traveling or drawing on the go. The paper is extremely thick which is wonderful if you use a lot of watercolors or something that’s ink intensive. For markers it absorbs it very well. Very little bleeding. This is also incredible for the price! Plus it’s 48 pages which makes me feel more accomplished when I finish this book. Rather than your usual 200 page which I feel like I never fully fill out. The size is wonderful too, not too big not too small!
    The only flaws is that the paper only comes in tones grey or this off cream type color. There’s not an option for just plain white paper. I wish there was an option for just plain paper but it’s fun to experiment with the tones grey that I choose, it’s different! The other issue is that, the paper is SO thick that the pages do not lay flat, you have to have a paper weight or something similar to kinda keep the pages from collapsing in on you. Which isn’t a deal breaker for me
    Other than that, I’d definitely buy this art journal again!!
