ArtwayIndigo - Cotton Rag Paper Sketchbook - A5 Landscape - 70 Sides/35 Pages of 250gsm Mid Texture 100% Cotton Rag Paper - 100% Handmade

I very rarely leave a product review unless something is awful.. this sketchbook is absolutely amazing, I wanted to make a sketchbook for our 2nd wedding anniversary, and it looks amazing, it's actually a little bit bugger than A5 (by a few mm, but more space is always a plus for me), the edges are beautiful, you can really tell this is an item made with love, it was even wrapped like a gift, an absolute treat for any artist!Amazing value for money, the water absorbency is perfect for my needs as I'm creating acrylic medium artwork, so uncertain how it would be for watercolour users.The size is perfect, it's got such a good ease of use, perfect for any traditional artist..Please treat yourself to this GEM! 💎

I love the books, the A5 size unfortunately did NOT have 35 pages only 20, no problem but please ret and send the right amount to the size of book, having said that the small one DOES ha e 35 pages.....don't let that put you off as they are EXCELLENT journaling books....

I love this medium for watercolour, I cannot fault this Indigo Artway book for “journaling”. Quality is superb and holds water really well. I have had both the A6 and A5 books. They are really lightweight for packing too.

Lovely book and well-packed. The paper is thick, but a bit too absorbant for my particular work.

It's strange paper for me, never before used anything like this. Just tried a little sample to see what the absorbtion rate of the paper was, it is very absorbant. Got to be quick if you want to lift anything out, but that goes for a lot of rag papers. The only downside comment I would make is the text for this product is incorrect as there are only 20 pages in the book and not 35 as stated. I did suspect that the detail was incorrect, but wanted it anyway to try out. I'm happy and now have to work out the best way to paint on it. To say it's 'rough' (torchon) paper is a bit incorrect too, it's a bit like painting on 'woodchip' wallpaper. Probably fun though once I get used to it. Loose painters, like one lady I know, will love it and I know she bought one.

Paper quality only for scrap booking but they are cheap so I guess

Not used yet but it's a beautiful hard backed journal

I haven't used the item yet, but there is a significantly lower amount of sheets in the one I received, at 20, which the listing states only applies to the Panorama version.Buyer beware!

I bought the A5 and A6 landscape, as well as the panorama sketchbook.All papers have a pink glow to them. It's not white or even off-white.The A5 sketchbook only has 20 sheets, not 35 as mentioned in the description. Won't buy again. 2 stars for quick delivery.

Buona assorbenza

Tutto perfetto

This is a great book for freeing oneself of the fear of wasting good paper. It is comparatively affordable, well made, sturdy, and the paper is beautiful. It's of a rougher texture and great for experimenting and gaining experience without breaking the bank. Not great with masking fluid I've heard, so I used a white wax crayon instead. I did use masking tape for the edges but dulled its stickiness first on my clothing and it worked fine.

Es artesanal, esta bien. Aún no lo he probado pero no se si aguantará acuarela, espero que si. Si o lo usaré para dibujos.
