I have a beta Stllman And Birn and I gessoed the pages and use oils in it - works very well- heavy thick, tough paper , nice for almost any medium I think. Not cheap! I just put a flat coffee stirrer near the center between pages and the oils dry fairly quickly and without problems- I enjoy sketching in oils in my car. I so enjoy your great channel!
Hi! I'm thinking of buying a sketchbook for markers (copic) and for sketching, Do you have any sketchbook recommendations? I don't want *very* thick paper, and I prefer A5
There's this sketchbook that's made for markers specifically but I can't remember the price. Markers will bleed on most paper so it's best to just draw on one sheet/page, and place another paper beneath to protect the next page.
tommyundnemo This is an A5 sketchbook that opens to A4. It's usually around one hour. If there are more details or I use watercolours, then maybe more time. If it's just a pen and ink sketch, then it's less than an hour.

MyPetiteCakes Thanks. I'll be posting some more reviews of other Stillman & Birn sketchbooks soon.
I love these sketchbooks, have 2 alphas, a beta, and a zeta. Great quality!
I just got thus sketchbook, and wanted to see a review ,thanks for the in depth review 😊
+Falangie Have fun using your new sketchbook 😁
Would you say that this Epsilon is the best Stillman and Birn for pencil and color pencil drawings?
Yes
I really like your Stilman and Birn reviews! :)
What series would you recommend for Gouache and Acrylic painting?
Probably the sketchbooks with thicker paper. Beta or Delta sketchbooks.

Teoh, for pen only (FP, Micron, Uni, etc. ) do you prefer the smooth Epislon or the more textured Alpha? Thanks. I always enjoy your videos.
If it’s ink only, it works better on smooth surface
Thanks
so many wonderful sketches!!
how long usually does it take to draw or paint one page ( both page) ?
