Review: My daily art companion for mixed-media practice 🎨 - I love spending weekend evenings experimenting with art at home, switching between markers, sketch pencils and light watercolor washes. This Canson XL 9×12 mixed media pad is perfect for my hobby! 🖌️ The 98lb thick paper handles wet paint nicely without heavy warping, and erasing pencil marks does not tear the surface. Side wire binding lets the pad lay flat easily, great for big drawings. With 60 sheets, I have plenty of space to practice ideas without worrying about wasting expensive fine art paper. It works for gouache and ink too. Great value for hobby artists, solid 5 stars! Review: Perfect in every way - I love how it has pages that can easily be torn out, paper is thick and can be used with water colors, paints, permanent markers and it doesn’t bleed through. Doesn’t leave smudges when erasing, but I use the white erasers used for art. Paper does not tear when erasing or pressing down hard (which I do when writing or drawing) I really love the fact permanent markers and paints don’t bleed through at all!! I highly recommend this art book, could be used for journaling if you so wish, I write my poems and thoughts after I decorate it with my artwork. I give it 5/5 stars and two thumbs up! Great for beginner artists I’m not a professional or a beginner I make mistakes all the time and so I erase a lot, the paper is perfect for this because no ripping or tearing at all. Again I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this it’s perfect for all ages which age range would be 3-99+ age range. My “adopted” (my BFF daughter) is two years old and she loves to color and draw with me and she doesn’t get upset when I hand her a page or two out of my little art book because the paper doesn’t rip or bleed through on her and she smiles ear to ear when she colors with me more so when I hand her one of these pages. ## Features - EXPLORE YOUR WILD SIDE – Embrace worry-free creativity on these resilient 160gsm sheets!

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daily art companion for mixed-media practice 🎨 *by V***E on September 28, 2026* I love spending weekend evenings experimenting with art at home, switching between markers, sketch pencils and light watercolor washes.
