Royal Talens T9314-014M 441750 Talens Art Creation Sketchbook, Drawing Notebook, 4.7 x 4.7 inches (12 x 12 cm), Pastel Pink

A lovely watercolor sketchbook. No bleeding through or pilling with normal use. Holds water well enough. With some stretching or overstretching of the binding you can make this lay flat without holding it down to paint across both sides. Travels well. Nice elastic closure. Sized to transport easily in a purse or medium sized bag. ~5 x 8". Paper is thick, but not cotton. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. I paid $11.04 each.

Sketchbook is a great size and I love the color! I like the smooth texture and the durability of this paper. Very happy with this sketchbook. I would buy another one.

This sketchbook by Art Talents completely exceeded my expectations. The paper quality is amazing — thick, smooth, and holds up beautifully to everything I throw at it: pencil, ink, markers, colored pencils, even light gouache and watercolor. No bleeding, no feathering, and barely any buckling!It lays flat, the binding is super sturdy, and the cover feels durable enough for travel or daily use. I love how professional it looks and how satisfying it is to draw on each page.Honestly, for the price, this is unbeatable. I’ve tried more expensive sketchbooks that didn’t perform as well. Whether you’re a beginner, student, or professional artist, this one is a gem.I’ll definitely be buying more. 10/10 – highly recommend!

I love the size of these sketchbooks and the paper is very smooth but a creamy color, not white, which I really like. In the description it says kraft paper but it must refer to the cover as I now have 3 of these and the paper inside is the same in all three. You get a lot of sheets and I think they're a good buy.

My new favorite sketchbooks brand to use. I've used many in my 14 years of drawing and this paper quality is nice thick and works well with the mixed media stuff I do in my work. Not to mention the covets are nice and sturdy and fun to decorate myself

Love the color and size, paper feels good. I plan on using it for an upcoming trip for some quick watercolor drawings on the go. Travel size was the goal! 10/10

This probably won’t sound like a compliment, but these are excellent subpar notebooks.It’s almost like the Goldilocks of notebooks.Some notebooks are extremely high quality, but then i feel bad using it for “crappy” sketches, and unfleshed out ideas.Other notebooks are extremely cheap, made with horrible paper and bad binding, and even if you wanted to experiment, the paper tears on you, and it’s not a fun experience.But this notebook? This is the type of notebook where it holds up to ink, alcohol markers, gouache, and watercolor so I can experiment and play and not feel like the paper is precious.It’s not watercolor paper, so don’t expect it to act as such, but it works. Also, when I use alcohol markers, I can’t use the back of that page. Oh well!I’ve used these notebooks the last three years for Inktober.I love how small they are, and how they come in all these different colors.I always have fun in these, and that’s the whole reason I make art.

Great sketchbook that I can put in my crossbody bag and take with me to work. Love the color.
