    Canson mix media sketch book is absolutely amazing and I've filled probably about 5-7 of them but I just can't stand spiral binding and mine tend to self destruct, I wish they were perfect bound!

    Surprisingly super helpful thank you! It's been hard trying to find videos that cover what I'm looking for! I'm starting some art therapy classes this fall so I'm needing to look for a mixed media sketchbook that doesn't bleed through, warp too much and isn't spiral bound so this has helped a lot thank you again!

    Great review, I switch around between canson to practice and S &B for when I am really trying, everytime I go back to canson there is something about it that is just really easy, not for watercolor though. I may have to add the Hahnemuhle into the mix for more watercolors only.

    I'm with you. I started with Canson mixed media and am so comfortable with it for ink drawing.
    I was looking for the same 'type' of paper but slightly thinner for journaling, because I think I could probably do with slightly thinner paper? Honestly the $5 Artist's Loft sketchbook is the type of journaling paper I'm looking for, but have no idea the paper weight of that. Any suggestions for a not too thin, not too smooth journal?

      I have the Canson Mixed Media and it sadly bleeds. I've researched on what sketchbooks take in Ohuhu markers and came across the Rendr. Let me tell you, I totally thought it was a scam, but it ABSOLUTELY does not bleed through. Idk what they do to their papers, but it's amazing for Ohuhu markers

It would be nice if you listed all three sketchbooks on a piece of paper at the end or begin of video because I had to re watch the whole video to find the NAMES of the second two Stillman and Burnes zetta series and Hanna Mule Watercolor sketchbook. I don't even know if I am spelling correctly.. .

      @@ArtbyMarciaFurman I'm looking into the Zeta series of Stillman and birn mixed media. Because you are replying to me, I just wanted to ask, is it smooth or does it have a rough texture. I've ordered some polychromos, and Zest it. Because I want to try and get into coloured pencil. Do you think your sketchbook takes watercolor well? There is different series, but I'm not sure which one takes coloured pencil and solvent the best. I don't have any experience on this whatsoever. I've only ever done graphite drawing on standard sketch paper.
