Black Sketchbook 21x29.7cm 140g - 80 Sheets Acid-Free - Ideal for Pencil Pastel Acrylic Ink

My go-to sketch book. Paper is thick enough for drawing-- I rarely use wet mediums in sketchbooks, so I can't give a good appraisal about how this paper will stand it. But my friend does successful, expressionistic ink washes in one and looks like has no issues with buckling, running, or breaking up. The paper is very good to excellent quality and there are a lot of pages. A popular rival does pads with heavier paper, but for my purposes, it was worth the trade-off to switch to these: Also a lot fewer pages due to thickness of rival paper. The bookmark and elastic closure are very useful and practical. I wouldn't go back to pads without them. You can even tuck a pencil under the elastic at the top, so it's always handy when you get sudden ideas. And importantly DURABILITY! The popular in UK rival pad's covers wear out in your bag if you carry your pad everywhere with you (like you should)-- because that product's covers are inferior: the spine falls off... the edges wear out and I end up having to gaffa tape them. These Talens pads have no issues because the covers are superior quality.. Also note, the rival has stiff covers... which is marginally better. Talens has softer, but firm enough covers. Also the thicker pages in the rival don't want to lie flat when you're working... The thinner Talens' pages are much easier to subdue, so they don't keep springing up at you when you're drawing. Great value- practical, durable, a pleasure to work in.

They are legit and ideal for both pencil and pen

These are wonderful to draw in and cheap enough to stop the paralysis of not wanting to spoil more expensive sketchbooks. It has an off white paper which I have used to paint and draw in fineliners, ballpoints, gouache and watercolor (as long as its not too wet a wash). It's not good for alcohol markers though as these bleed through. I love these sketchbooks and have A4 and A5 size and have the small square size for a dedicated gouache urban painting book.

I love the big size and the paper quality is perfect, lovely smooth pages that hold up pretty well to gouache. BUT THE PAGES ARE SO YELLOW IT PUTS ME OFF 😭

I recommend

I am happy to use this item.

I ordered the a4 book , I received an a5 landscape book with the wrong sizings on it. I feel cheated.

Good quality paper that handles watercolours well although it’s definitely not watercolour paper. Excellent for graphite/ charcoal, I think some thick pens might bleed but overall amazing value for a chunky sketchbook.

Sidorna är tjocka och olinjerade. Fungerar bra också för vattenfärg. Alltid nöjd med detta märke. Tåliga böcker med tjocka permar. Bra gummiband runt som håller boken stängd.

Love it! I love the switch between smoothe and watercolor paper and the pages are thick with a great feel to them. I have already tried out all kindes of mediums on it, like watercolor, acrylic or markers. Even with a lot of layering, the only thing that had a slight bleed was the markers and they never bled trough to the next page. It's definitely a great finde for the price and quality. I would recommend it to anybody old or young, and It makes a great gift!

AGENDA PERFETTA

I’m a fan of the Talens Art Creation Sketchbook line. The price point allows me to grab it and not worry about creating a finished piece of art, although I have used it in that fashion. The pages are slightly toned in a warm, off white. They read a bit yellow if compared to a bright, pure white, but not to the point of distraction or being considered “toned”. The 94 pound page weight allows me to use almost any media, even in layers. Very smooth surface. I’ve used watercolor, but this isn’t really a proper watercolor paper. I’d pass if you need something exclusively for that purpose, but don’t miss this line for mixed media work or play. I’m enjoying the 8.3 x 11.7 size. Still light and portable enough for grabbing on the go.
