Talens Art CreationSketchbook 80 Sheets, 9 cm x 14 cm, Golden Yellow

I really love these books and have several in different sizes. The paper quality is lovely and smooth, and takes ink and water colour well.I use a variety of sizes from A6 for field sketches up to A4 for desk sketching. I love the bright and cheerful colours as it makes distinguishing my different sketch books a lot easier! Great value for money!

Very nice little sketchbook. The paper is smooth and fairly thick. Sakura pens don't show through. Perfect for daily sketching.

Talents are quality acid free sketchbooks and good value for coloured pencil work. Not tried paint or ink in them yet.

Honestly best you can get hardcover for price. The paper is good but does bleed if you use alcohol markers. Good value for money however if you're not looking specifically for hard cover you can find a better one. good size. OK texture could be better. Very pretty and easiy to bring around. Decent versatility for mixed media

Loved it and would buy again

I’m a bit fan of the Talens Art Creation sketchbooks and have bought several now. This size is my favourite. Not too big and heavy to take around with you but with a good amount of space to work on. They lay quite flat for scanning which is a must for me. The pages take various media, including wet, without wrinkling too much. I’ve noticed if I’m using wet media or brush pens, the paper can soften and go ‘bitty’ slightly if I layer it too quickly without letting it dry first. But I think you get used to how best to use your media to avoid that, if it bothers you.

Love this little book for quick sketches while I’m out and about, great quality paper.

Great size, love a square sketch book.Pages are decent enough. Unsure about bleed through so far as I've not used anything to mark that would.Pages can be opened properly no matter which page, certainly better than other books I've used.Cover is sturdy, nice bright colour to really see in my bag!I'd buy it again.
