Stillman & Birn Beta Series Softcover Sketchbook, 3.5" x 5.5", 270 gsm (Extra Heavyweight), White Paper, Cold Press Surface

Such a beautiful sketchbook. The paper is great for pretty much all mixed media with the 270 GSM paper. It says called press but it’s not textured or rough. For me, the texture is like the Goldilocks of paper texture. Has took well to all sorts of media. Really high-quality pages are soon in really well and perfectly lays flat. Definitely recommend and would buy again.

I'm now using this sketchbook as my daily art journal, using watercolour to experiment and explore. Perfect for just relaxing and playing with preparatory sketches without having my inner editor interfere! It takes paint well, without warping, as the paper is deliciously thick.

Perfect size , soft cover is nice to hold , not heavy and of course you can do everything in it - paint draw collage - perfect sketchbook nothing negative to say , wish it was a little less expensive BUT it’s worth getting it , and I’ll bet you will buy more . Highly recommend from an artist 😎
