I use the Canson XL series mixed media for my drawing most of the time. Though I bought the big one and cut the pages down to size. I even made a " Hide and Find" drawing of a cartoon penguin that I designed with that paper.
Greetings. Where did you find those Hokusai sketchbooks? I've searched but can't find them. Can you post a link to where you got them please? Thank you. Cheers, Mark
Wow I am shocked about the way you use your Canson XL I did some big projects with watercolor on it and it works just fine. I think it deserves more when pen tests and line tests. Of course I never tried a professional watercolor paper and I tried Canson watercolor paper just ones, I think I need to use it more.
I loved this review. It's just the sort of thing I've been researching. But I really must comment: 'cheap'... not in my country. I groaned in pain when I saw how many pages of your books were used for brief scribbles and testing. Those books would cost me between 25 and 50 dollars. I have a Canson XL mixed media kindly gifted to me which I fill both sides of every page to capacity because they can't be bought here and it would cost me about $25 to purchase and ship even one of them from the US. Most of my experiments are done on cartridge paper sketch books as they are the only ones you could call affordable here. I also have an A5 Stillman and Bern Beta sketch book... also with each page packed full because it cost me $40 Aus. Yes Australia... sigh.
you can't really police what a person wants and wishes to draw in a sketchbook they bought. i'm not trying to be rude here but just because it costs more in your country, doesn't mean you have the right to comment and complain about how becca chooses to use any type of sketchbook that, again, she paid for her and has every right to do whatever she wants to with it.
@@empressink_ Exactly. That's the whole purpose of a sketchbook, to capture those thoughts and ideas floating around in your head and commit them a solid, real life objects. I can't count how many times I've made a nothing drawing that years later I was able to refine into a beautiful work of art. Everything in art has a price in blood, sweat and tears. So why should money even be a consideration?
Your drawings are beautiful, and still you very quickly speak, Oh hope have you will much more subscribers, and so I at all not know English and this all with interpreter.
All your work is so pretty

I agree. It is not expensive in US but it is a fairly good paper and you can do much more then scribbles of ink with it.
