Talens Art Creation Sketchbook Black 21x29,7 cm, 140 Grams

This little sketch book is well worth buying. It holds up to paint well even water color but don't use to much water 😁 it's the best size for traveling just drop it in my bag and go. I'm a real consumer not a fake lol.

The sketchbook is a square, 4/34" inches on all sides. It's comfortable in the hand, with nice quality binding, and easy to carry. The substantial, but not heavy, paper tolerates watercolor, at least a light wash, and possibly heavier work, but you will see some puckering on the reverse side of the page, but no bleeding through.

I have many of these sketchbooks in several sizes. I carry at least one with me at all times. I have used them with a variety of different mediums including graphite, colored pencil, pen and ink, gouache, and watercolor. All these mediums worked great. I am conservative with water for the watercolor so I have not had any trouble with the paper buckling. I like the cream color of the paper and like the fact that the first page and the cover lining are the same size I can use them to start my book with a spread on both pages.

i love this sketchbook, the paper is really smooth which wasn’t really my cup of tea but i think because it’s also really thick (140 gsm) it doesnt make it as annoying for me. The lines are really crisp when you use this sketchbook. I’ve tried most of my inks, they don’t bleed through. i also tried watercolor and as long as you use 1 layer i think it’s good, it will warp a bit though the more water you put on it but still holds up pretty well! the only thing that bled through was the sharpie marker. tried crayola marker, watercolor, micron fineliners, brushpens etc. great paper! recommend.

One of my favorite sketchbooks!

My teenage daughter loves this sketchbook. It is just the right size to stick in her purse and pull out whenever she has time to sketch. The construction is solid and there is a ribbon to mark her place.

Purchased a Royal Talens Sketchbook. A+!

My daughter bought these for me but didn't pay attention to the sizes. They are not listed in inches, but centimeters. She was mighty surprised at how small they were when she pulled them out of the package. So just a warning to pay attention to the sizing. The product title should really have the sizes in inches to go along with centimeters, thus the three star rating. I will be giving these away as I have no desire to do any work this small.
